Safe Sober is a non-profit organization co-founded in 1991 by David Daggett of Daggett Shuler, Attorneys at Law, originally known as Safe Sober Prom Night. "The goal of Safe Sober is to provide ongoing awareness of the dangers of drugs and alcohol and to encourage positive peer pressure to reduce underage drinking and drug use," explains Griff Shuler.

Now celebrating its 35^th year and still expanding, Safe Sober encourages high school students to make the most of their young lives throughout their high school experience. The program is active across the greater Triad region of North Carolina. To date, more than 600,000 students have made "The Right Choice!" pledge and have been positively influenced by the Safe Sober program.

As part of the Safe Sober program, Triad students submit their own designs for consideration to be printed on the front of thousands of T-shirts. These T-shirts are given to area high school and middle school students as well distributed throughout the community. The winner of the T-shirt design contest receives a $1,000 scholarship, and their name is printed on the back of more than 15,000 T-shirts.  Schools have historically incorporated these T-shirts into their prom and graduation festivities to encourage students to be safe and sober through positive peer pressure during this active spring season.
