Editor,

Thanks to much support, the Impaired Driving Impact Panel of Island County exceeded its goal of $5,000 during its Keep It a Safe Summer campaign. From Memorial Day Friday to Labor Day, known as the 100 Deadly Days of Summer when more DUI crashes happen, IDIPIC raised $5,116.

Many thanks to our wonderful event sponsors, and a special thanks to Island Thrift which is adding $5,000 to funds raised that will go towards IDIPIC’s prevention work with youth about the dangers of underage drinking, other substance use and DUI. Last year alone, nearly 2,000 local youth benefitted from these funded programs.

IDIPIC is a non-profit community service organization that was established in 2000. Its mission is to deter driving under the influence and underage drinking in our communities through education and awareness.

MIKE DIAMANTI

IDIPIC vice president
