Prairie View Golf Club • Carmel, Indiana
SUPPORT D.A.R.E. INDIANA
• D.A.R.E. fosters solid community relations
as parents, schools and police departments
work together to help the children of our
communities resist drugs and violence; the life
skills taught in the D.A.R.E. curriculum not only
aid our children in resisting drugs and violence,
but also in other areas of life as well.
• D.A.R.E. provides an important foundation
to build strong prevention efforts, and is the
largest and most consistent drug education
delivery system in the world.
• Most studies indicate that the one key positive
element that separates D.A.R.E. from other
programs is the high quality teaching and
delivery of D.A.R.E. by uniformed officers who
are trained to be facilitators.
• Findings of a study published by the prestigious
Journal of the National Medical Association
demonstrate that the D.A.R.E. curriculum
is highly effective in prevention of smoking
among elementary school-aged children.
Specifically, the study found that students
that completed the D.A.R.E. program were five
times less likely to start smoking compared to
youngsters who did not participate in D.A.R.E.

Dear Friends,
I would like to take a moment to invite you to participate in this year’s
D.A.R.E. Indiana Golf Tournament. This will be our Sixteenth Annual Golf
Tournament, and we are positive that this will be the best year yet. All
proceeds from this tournament support D.A.R.E. Indiana and the mission
that is drug and crime prevention.
Drug Abuse Resistance Education, better known as D.A.R.E., is an
international education program that seeks to prevent use of drugs,
membership in gangs, and violent behavior. D.A.R.E., which has expanded
globally since it’s founding in 1983, has been instrumental in keeping
children safe from harmful habits. Students who enter the program sign a
pledge not to use drugs or join gangs and are taught by local law
enforcement about the dangers of drug use in an interactive in-school
curriculum.
The D.A.R.E. Indiana Golf Tournament is the only fundraising event we do
each year, and is an important aspect to keeping the organization
successful. Not only do these funds help support the programs that are
currently taking place in schools all across Indiana, but also they help
support the training of new D.A.R.E. Officers.
Please take a moment to complete the information in this brochure. We
look forward to your participation in this year’s event, and assure you that
you will not be disappointed. Top teams will be awarded cash certificates,
as well as great opportunities to win some amazing prizes.
Thank you in advance for your participation, and I will see you on the
course!
Sincerely,
Kenneth W. Jackson II
Committee Chairman
