Buckling up pays off
We hear it
all of the time, "Buckle Up," and "Click It or Ticket." Well CHS
SADD is joining the effort with its "Buckle Up" campaign. Unlike
other programs that ticket and fine you for poor behavior, SADD is
going to reward you for good behavior.
Learn how you can win great prizes for "buckling-up."
