The Law Firm of Lewis & Daggett Motivates High School Students To Take A Pledge
Against Drinking and Driving

The Safe Sober Prom Night program has it\'s main emphasis this month during prom
season. Started in 1991 by attorneys Mike Lewis and David Daggett it\'s a serious
program for a serious problem. The goal: to use positive peer pressure to combat
the problem of alcohol and drug use among high school students. The program begins
each fall with a t-shirt contest where high school students compete for the chance
to design the winning t-shirt which is then distributed broadly.

Winston-Salem, NC - April 17, 2006

This month area high school students will be featured in a television commercial
that encourages their peers to take a pledge. The script, written by Lewis &
Daggett legal assistant Brian Law, reads like this:

I took a pledge to myself to achieve all of my dreams, why would I mess up,
everything I\'ve worked so hard for by drinking and driving.

Joining the students is actor Robert Vaughn encouraging a positive call to action.

Mike Lewis and David Daggett say they started the program as a way to give back to
the community. It is currently operating in over 400 high schools in North and
South Carolina. In the triad area alone they have personally paid for and are
distributing more than 10,000 free \"Do it Right!\" t-shirts to students who take the
pledge.

The program actually kicks off each fall with a t-shirt design contest. Students
compete by entering their design for the Safe Sober Prom Night program. The winning
design is then featured on the t-shirt that is mass distributed to high school
students each spring.
