The Promise Tour

It has been estimated that over three million teenagers are out and out alcoholics. Several million more have a serious drinking problem that they cannot manage on their own. This school year (2006-2007) Blake is beginning the Promise Tour. It is his goal to get 100,000 students to join him in making a pledge not to drink and drive or ride with those who do.

Did You Know? Facts from: Focus Adolescent Services:
The three leading causes of death for 15-24 year olds are automobile crashes, homicides, and suicides. Alcohol is a leading factor in all three.

An early age of drinking onset is also associated with alcohol-related violence not only among persons under age 21 but among adults as well.

Every fifteen minutes someone dies from an alcohol-related automobile accident. Each weekend, each hour, a teenager dies in a car crash. Fully fifty percent of those crashes will involve alcohol.

Blake McMeans's life changed forever in an alcohol related automobile accident. He is primarily confined to a wheel chair. His dreams of becoming a professional athlete are gone forever. In fact, he will never play tennis again.

Today, his passion has become speaking to young people and compelling them not to make the choices he made. He speaks in high schools and middle schools across the country using his own life story to convince students not drink and drive or ride with someone who is drinking or has been drinking. Below you will find a copy of the pledge.
