E-Card
What will you be doing this 4th of July? Check out our newest interactive eCard!
A number of things can happen this 4th of July weekend. What will you be doing?
Watching fireworks?
Baking pies?
Taking trips?
Watching movies?
While you enjoy these fun activities, 212 Americans will be killed in drunk driving crashes over the course of the weekend.
The bottom line: You can do a lot of things over the July 4th holiday weekend. But drunk driving should not be one of them.
View our new interactive July 4th eCard to learn more about all of the things that could be done over the course of the weekend.
From all of us at The Century Council, have an enjoyable and safe holiday weekend.
Have a happy prom!
This prom season, we want to tell high school students across America to have a good time. Express yourself. Dress flashy. Take a chance and ask that certain someone to be your date.
Just don’t drink. Years from now, you’ll grin or laugh when looking back at your prom, but you won’t laugh if you faced disciplinary action, got arrested, or worse.
We created this e-card to send this message home to high school students. We hope you like it.
Have fun and be safe!
The Century Council presents - Holiday Hop!
At The Century Council, we always try to let people know the danger created by drunk drivers over the holidays. Last year, 1231 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving fatalities between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, and 171 of the drivers involved were under-21. We’re particularly concerned that 70% of these fatalities involved a driver with a BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) of .15 or higher.
But this time, we tried something a little different to get the message across. Working with Actual Size Creative, we created a short web-based game to illustrate the dangers presented by drunk drivers. The game consists of one simple but surprisingly difficult challenge: Can you get the gingerbread family across the street to the holiday party?

We hope you enjoy it, and that you have a safe and merry holiday season!
A Reminder to Not Drive Drunk This Fourth of July - An eCard by The Century Council
The Century Council created an innovative eCard for the July 4th holiday that reminds viewers to stay safe this Independence Day and not drive drunk. You can view the eCard now. We have previously produced eCards for prom and graduation, the winter holidays, and National Teen Driver Safety Week.
The Fourth of July eCard takes you through some activities that may happen on a typical July 4th day – a burger is flipped on the grill, a flag is waved, a horseshoe is tossed. But it ends with the story of how someone has too much to drink, gets in their car, and puts lives in danger.
We hope this eCard serves as a reminder to stay safe this Fourth of July (and always) and never drive drunk. As always, you can send the eCard to a friend, and post it to your Facebook and Twitter accounts. Have a happy and safe Fourth of July!
