KY Joins HERO Campaign

{Frankfort, Kentucky}…Kentucky has joined the HERO Campaign. Governor Steve Beshear signed a proclamation Tuesday encouraging people to participate in designated driver programs and drive sober. The HERO Campaign, which was inspired by Navy Ensign John Elliott, who was killed by a drunken driver in 2000, works with schools, businesses, law enforcement agencies and other organizations to encourage bars and restaurants to serve free soft drinks to sober designated drivers and asks schools to integrate the campaign into drunken driving prevention and educational programs.
