Spring break is said to be the one week a year where students can truly let loose and forget all their worries and stress.

With it being only a few weeks away Fresno City College is holding the second annual Sober Spring event March 18 to promote sober and clean fun.

Coordinator Elizabeth Pichardo says, “the purpose is to educate and encourage college students primarily but, of course, the community as a whole to make healthier choices and safer decisions for their spring break.”

With a number of 1,825 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 dying from alcohol-related unintentional injuries, it is important to spread information about drug and alcohol abuse, especially during spring break.

The event will be held at the free speech area from 10 a.m – 2 p.m and will consist of a variety of different activities for the benefit of all students.

Nineteen Fresno City clubs will participate in the circulation of information regarding alcohol and drugs including but not limited to, the business and marketing of alcohol, the effects on the body, the pressures of drinking, interventions and preventions and many more.

On top of the event being very informative there will also be fun sober activities for the students to participate in such as WestCare California’s “Drunk Chopper” obstacle course, the lock it up project, pledge booths, live music, DJ Pooh Don 1, testimonial and skits, and many more.
