The Alliance strives to provide many well-rounded programs in our community to decrease the use of drug and alcohol use in youth and to help prevent the abuse of substances in our community. The Alliance works closely with the Wall Youth Center and Community Services, the Township Committee and Mayor, the Police Department, the Board of Education, and the Substance Abuse Counselors in the schools. Some of the programs we offer to the community and that have been funded through a grant are BABES, which is a puppet-based life skills curriculum offered to all 3rd graders in Wall Township. We have been offering this program to schools for over 20 years free of charge. Project Graduation, which is an all-night drug and alcohol-free celebration designed for the graduating senior class. The Alliance has successfully presented this party to the class for the past 24 years. We also host community education programs regarding drug and alcohol use and abuse for youth and adults. We work closely with the schools and Wall Police Department to help educate community members as well as collaborate on mutual programs.

The Wall Alliance is also a sponsor of events in the community like our annual Kids Day America. This event is one of our largest and takes place in September. The event was designed through the efforts of the Wall Alliance and Dr. Tony Garrow as a Kids Health, prevention safety, and environmental awareness day. Each year the event is attended by over 1,000 parents and children who enjoy many features such as pony rides, petting zoos, food, and many educational components offered by businesses and organizations in the community. In March and December, the Alliance offers a Pancake Breakfast as an Alliance Awareness Day and fundraiser. In its 15th year, our goal has been to bring as many people from the community together to talk to them about drug and alcohol prevention efforts, and what we do plus try to raise extra funds to enhance our existing programs.
