Unison Health’s
ProjectPROM Gives Area High School Chance to Win $1,000 for
After-Prom
For high school students,
prom is a night they’ll never forget. Unison Health wants to
make it a night they’ll never regret as well. That’s why
Unison Health is proud to present ProjectPROM, in which one
Lucas County school will win $1,000 for their after-prom
celebration. This collaboration with BCSN/BCAN, aimed at
promoting a safe and healthy prom season, was made possible
through a grant from the Lucas County Mental Health and
Recovery Services Board.
Beginning February 11,
2019, BCSN/BCAN on-air personalities Jordan Tomase and
Jessica Furnas are visiting Lucas County High Schools,
interviewing them about the importance of staying drug- and
alcohol-free on prom night. In addition, students are
encouraged to submit their own 30-second videos by posting
them to Twitter and tagging Unison Health, BCSN, and BCAN.
The winning video will receive $1,000 for their school’s
after-prom, and all participants will be eligible to win
individual prizes as well.
By sponsoring ProjectPROM,
Unison Health aims to call attention to the need for safe,
sober prom night events. According to Unison Health
President and CEO Jeff De Lay, “About 40 percent of
high-school students say they’re planning to use drugs or
alcohol on prom night, and 75 percent say they believe
they’ll be pressured to use. By creating after-prom events
that students are excited about, we can see a real reduction
in those numbers — and that can make a real difference as we
seek to prevent substance use disorders from affecting the
lives of young people here in Lucas County and Northwest
Ohio.” For more information on ProjectPROM, please visit:
