Draw the Line Underage Alcohol Prevention Campaign

The Madison Chatham Coalition, with support from Madison Borough, Chatham Borough and Chatham Township Police Departments, is proud to launch a new underage alcohol prevention campaign, Draw the Line.

This campaign encourages families to monitor the alcohol they keep in their homes.

A campaign overview, as well as tips and conversation starters on ways to discuss substance use with teens is included in the rack card display at the following liquor stores:  Hickory Wine Cellar in Chatham Township, Cottage Deli and Wine in Chatham Borough and Main Street Wine Cellar in Madison. Parents are encouraged to take and read over the rack cards. The Madison Chatham Coalition hopes to expand this campaign to the additional liquor stores in Madison and the Chathams this winter.

“The Madison Chatham Coalition appreciates the continued support from all three law enforcement agencies and retailers. We are grateful that they recognize the need for getting these important substance use prevention resources to families,” said Madison Chatham Coalition Director Allison Bardon.
