The Winston-Salem, North Carolina-based nonprofit Safe Sober is pleased to announce that Keeghan Davis, a junior at Career Center High and Mount Tabor High, has won the 2024 Safe Sober T-Shirt Design Contest.
The design was unveiled at a surprise presentation, and Keeghan was presented with the first shirt off the press framed for display. In recognition of her achievement, Keeghan was awarded a $1,000 scholarship, with an additional $1,000 grant to her digital media arts teacher, Mark Underwood, to invest in his class.
Honored guests joining attorneys David Daggett and Griff Shuler included the Mayor of Winston-Salem Allen Joines, Forsyth County Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough, Mount Tabor principal Donald Wyatt, Career Center Assistant Principals Yu’Vonne James and Brian Lee, and Keeghan’s parents.
Safe Sober is a non-profit organization co-founded in 1991 by David Daggett of Daggett Shuler, Attorneys at Law. It was initially known as Safe Sober Prom Night, aiming to raise awareness of the dangers of drugs and alcohol and to encourage the youth of the Triad to make good choices when it comes to drug and alcohol use on Prom Night.
Celebrating its 34th year, Safe Sober encourages high school students in the Triad to “make the right choice. However, despite originally being aimed at students during prom season, Safe Sober has evolved over the past few years to encourage the entire Triad community to make the right choice when faced with decisions about drugs and alcohol.
As part of the Safe Sober program, students submit their designs for consideration to be printed on the front of thousands of t-shirts. These shirts are then given to high school and middle school students in the area and throughout the community.
“When we started this program 34 years ago, Safe Sober wasn’t cool. Now, you see them all over,” David Daggett noted, emphasizing the initiative’s lasting impact.
At Daggett Shuler, it is our privilege to continue supporting the Triad and actively contribute to local efforts to enhance the health, safety, and overall well-being of our friends and neighbors. Our firm believes in leading by example, and we are committed to supporting the individuals and organizations dedicated to fostering the growth and prosperity of our community.
