Every 15 Minutes Alcohol Education Program

The Chico Unified School District, in conjunction with the California Highway Patrol and the Office of Traffic Safety, is taking a proactive step in educating local high school students about making mature decisions when alcoholic beverages are involved. 

The program’s name was conceived in 1990 when one alcohol-related traffic fatality occurred in the United States every fifteen minutes.

Every 15 Minutes is a two-day program that challenges high school juniors and seniors to think about drinking, driving, personal safety and the responsibility of making mature decisions when lives are involved.

Newton-Bracewell Chico Funeral Home has been involved with and is a strong supporter of this program since its inception.
