HC DrugFree/Orioles Event On Tuesday, June 28, 2011 HC DrugFree, the only nonprofit in Howard County dedicated solely to keeping youth drug and alcohol free, coordinated taking 100 Howard County youths to Camden Yards to participate in the PLAY campaign. PLAY, which stands for Promoting a Lifetime of Activity for Youth, is a public awareness campaign of the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society® (PBATS), in conjunction with the Taylor Hooton Foundation (www.TaylorHooton.org).  The PLAY Campaign combats child obesity and promotes healthy living and decision making among young people in America. The youth heard a drug talk about steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs, interacted with the O’s staff on the field and in the dugout, and chatted with catcher Matt Wieters. 

HC DrugFree is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, with a mission of empowering the community to raise drug-free teens. Our vision is a Howard County where youth are DRUG-FREE BY CHOICE.
