Every dollar invested in prevention saves communities $7 in treatment costs. That's not just smart economics, it's smart compassion. đź’ť

Your 40th anniversary donation multiplies impact across Central Florida!

For four decades, we've chosen prevention over intervention, positivity over scare tactics, and community investment over crisis management. The results speak for themselves in the thousands of students who've grown up making healthy choices because someone believed prevention could work.

Join us in powering the next 40 years of positive change. Every gift, no matter the size, demonstrates that our community values prevention, supports young leaders, and believes in the power of positive peer pressure.

As students across Polk, Hardee, and Highlands Counties head back to school, they're walking into classrooms where InnerAct Alliance has been building prevention foundations for nearly four decades. 🎒

This school year, our prevention specialists will reach over 70 classrooms with science-based education that works. The proof? 83% choose alcohol-free lives, 88% reject va**ng, and 87% say no to ma*****na. These aren't just statistics—they're our neighbors' kids making choices that will shape Central Florida's future.

When we started in 1985, we served just a handful of classrooms. Today, thousands of students benefit from peer-to-peer prevention through our UthMpact youth leaders, interactive Red Ribbon challenges, and positive messaging that celebrates what's working in our communities.
Because most kids ARE making good choices. And that's worth celebrating.

Ready to power the next generation of positive peer pressure with us?

From all of us to you, have a very happy Easter!

Tomorrow is our last shopping day of the prom season. If you’re still in need of prom attire, come visit the UthMpact students at Project Prom, located in Lakeland Square Mall, from 11-4. All you need is to sign a pledge stating that you will be drug and alcohol free the night of prom and that you will encourage your friends to do the same.
See you there!
