Welcome to the Birmingham Bloomfield Community Coalition's website. The Coalition's mission is to raise awareness and mobilize the entire community to prevent the abuse of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, primarily by our youth. To better serve individuals in our community, we are in the process of creating a new website. Thank you for being patient during this process!

BUZZED DRIVING IS DRUNK DRIVING!

During this time of summer fun, beautiful weather, festivities and social gatherings, the Coalition would like to remind everyone to model responsible behavior for the youth of our community.  Especially when it comes to drinking and driving.    In 2008, nearly 12,000 people were killed in auto accidents involving an impaired driver.  Show your support to end BUZZED Driving, by pledging to make good decisions and model responsible behavior by NOT driving under the influence.  Visit http://buzzeddriving.adcouncil.org/ 

Adults of all ages and walks of life have an influence on our children, whether you're a parent, teacher, family member, employer or neighbor.  Please remember that they are watching and be responsible.
