2018 Every 15 Minutes - Landstown High School

"Every 15 Minutes" is a two-day program focusing on high school juniors and seniors, which challenges them to think about drinking, driving, personal safety, and the responsibility of making mature decisions. Along with alcohol-related crashes, it focuses on the impact that their decisions would have on family and friends. The Every 15 Minutes program starts months in advance of the actual presentation, in fact the very first program at a school will take about one-year to plan and prepare. This includes all of the involved agencies, the hospital, court, lawyers, judge, coroner/funeral home, students, parents and school administrators. Student participants are selected to cover the full spectrum of the student body, thus, the audience will be able to relate to at least one of the participants on the crash day.

The Virginia Beach Fire Department produced a short film for this year's Every 15 Minutes program showing the consequences of drinking while driving.

A talented artist who goes by the name of "Testimony" allowed us to use one of his songs in the film. You can hear more of his work at:   / testsoul
