Our Lives Drug-free (BOLD) held it's second annual basketball
tournament on June 18, 2016 at Ruggles Park. Five teams from both the
middle school and the high school division competed for prizes under the
direction of Nic Charest of SSTAR. The
Mission of the BOLD Coalition is to prevent and reduce alcohol and drug
abuse among youth by raising awareness, collaborating with the community
to initiate policy change, modifying social norms, educating youth and
adults, and promoting healthy activities.
The youth program consists of high school-aged students working together
as community advocates to help spread the message throughout the
surrounding communities. The
BOLD Coalition welcomes anyone who lives or work in Fall River,
Somerset, Swansea and Westport to participate in any of BOLD’s
projects. BOLD is a member of Community
Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA), the national organization
of drug abuse prevention coalitions. Click
