According to the CDC, as of October 1, 2019, 1,080 lung injury cases associated with using e-cigarette, or vaping, products have been reported from 48 states and 1 U.S. territory. 16% of these patients are under 18 years old, and 21% of patients are 18 to 20 years old. These stats need to change, and we need your help!

SADD and EndVaping are partnering to bring awareness to the dangers of vaping and e-cigarettes. To enter the contest, students will submit a meme or short vlog educating their peers on the dangers of vaping and e-cigarette use. Vlog should include current, accurate facts and/or statistics, why teens should choose not to vape, dangers of vaping (illness, death, addiction, impaired memory, dental injuries, symptoms, impaired memory, etc.)

FORD Changemaker Competitive Events Series

Each year, SADD chapters across the country lead traffic safety efforts in their schools and communities. Ford Driving Skills for Life and SADD are teaming up to recognize chapters for their efforts. Any registered SADD chapter who completes an event around drugged, drunk, distracted, or drowsy driving prevention will be eligible to enter their activity in the the Change Maker Competitive Events Series. As part of this competition, award submissions will be evaluated based upon the criteria below.

Chapters must complete an online application sharing their program and results by April 17, 2020. Applications will be reviewed by members of Ford Driving Skills for Life and SADD Nation and scored based upon the criteria above. The top three chapters in each category (drugged, drunk, drowsy, and distracted driving prevention) will be selected to send two students and an advisor to the 2020 SADD National Conference — all expenses covered by Ford Driving Skills for Life. Here, the finalist will present their project and results to a review committee who will select a First, Second, and Third Place winner in each category.
