SAFE AND SOBER PROM NIGHT – PREVENTING ACCIDENTS BEFORE THEY OCCUR

Despite what you may have heard, trial lawyers really do care about the safety of our communities. The primary goal of a trial lawyer and our tort system is to keep people from being injured by deterring dangerous and irresponsible behavior that leads to accidents. It is only when our society fails in its primary goal that we must look to the secondary goal, which is compensating the victims of the carelessness of others. 

In furtherance of that ideal, there is nothing more important to this law firm than helping our area high school students stay safe and sober. At Larson Law, we want not only to reduce injuries, but prevent them from occurring. According to MADD, more than half of all alcohol related traffic fatalities involving teens occur during prom season. To raise awareness of the danger to our students, the Springfield Public Schools Foundation and Larson Law have established Safe and Sober Prom Night. 

Safe and Sober Prom Night encourages seniors to take a pledge - a written commitment to their parents - to stay drug and alcohol free on prom night. Students are given incentives to keep their commitment, including a chance to win cash, contributions toward their senior graduation party, t-shirts, and discounts from community businesses on prom related expenses. 

At Larson Law, we hope to leave the world at little safer than we found it.  For more information about Safe and Sober Prom Night, see our website at www.safeandsobermo.com.

THE OZARKS GREENWAYS ADVENTURE RACE – PLAYING HARD WHILE HELPING TO EXPAND GREENWAYS

Larson Law is a proud sponsor of the Ozarks Greenways Adventure Race, which is a unique type of teamwork challenge event. This grueling 8-14 hour race tests the skills of self-supporting co-ed teams of four. Teams compete together on a course of running, mountain-biking, orienteering, canoeing, and mystery events. All distances and itinerary are kept secret until the day of the race. 

The best part of the program is that every dollar goes to develop public greenway trails in the Springfield, Missouri area. For more information about this event, see the website at www.ozarkgreenways.org.
