TESTIMONIALS |
"The TrafficWear line fits perfectly with our message to young people that they should respect themselves and their ability to make appropriate decisions. Youth today are faced with stressful situations and decisions unlike any previous generation. TrafficWear uses common visual symbols to simplify these decisions and wearing them gives young people a stylish and simple way to express themselves. Most importantly, it gives them permission to feel the way they do."
- Lou Anne Johnson, Manager of Prevention and Special Projects
Greenville County Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse
"We at Safe and Drug-Free Schools were excited to find the TrafficWear line to promote our themes of leadership, character and prevention. It is a creative expression of a powerful message to the students in our schools."
- Susan Achilles, EdD, Director
Safe and Drug-Free Schools, Greenville, SC
"Youth need direction and items that support our prevention and interventions programs need to be meaningful and valuable in the eyes of young people, TrafficWear can address both statements. Young people of all ages take pride in wearing or displaying these messages, knowing the direction they are taking and projecting their messages for all to see is a great way to make a statement. TrafficWear is cool and appreciated by young people, it can be their personal message and mean so much in their decision making development. Of all the messages that are promoted out there today why not give youth the option of making a personal and positive statement about their chosen direction."
- Carol Reeves, Executive Director
Red Ribbon Works
