Hello World!
This blog is associated with The Joshua Project. A non-profit (501c3 designation pending) designed to alert people to the dangers of abusive drinking and drug abuse. We work to promote self responsibility and to try to educate young folks about the responsibility of choices and that each choice has consequences: good and bad.
The Joshua Project was started when my friend Cheryl lost her son in a car accident when Josh accepted a ride with a drunk driver. The goal of our charity is to keep this tragedy from happening to others.
Some of the programs we are currently working on include programs that will teach young folks about peer pressures. We are also adding educational links to our web site (www.jpx3.org) and we will soon be starting a pilot program called Cab Angels.
The Cab Angel program will work with local restaurant and bar owners in partnership with local cab companies to offer free rides to restaurant/bar patrons that have has too much to drink and should not be driving. This program will be funded by The Joshua Project. We will be launching a pilot of this program in the Batavia Illinois area with the restaurant that employed Josh over summers: O'Brians in Batavia Illinois.
To learn more about our cause, or to donate, please go to www.jpx3.org.
The purpose of this blog is to discuss current issues and/or news items found on the internet around the topics of drinking and driving, self responsibility and drug use. We will also attempt to identify programs that would assist victims of drunk driving and drug abuse and hope to eventually create an area where people can come to learn more about existing programs for knowledge and assistance.
The blogger (yours truly) is the Treasurer and Secretary of The Joshua Project.
