The Jonathan and Lisa Moore Band will
provide musical entertainment during the rally, set for 6:00 to 8:00
p.m.
Considered to be one of the nation’s most
effective youth communicators, Steve Fitzhugh brings unparalleled
passion to the critical issues of today. Fitzhugh’s relevant message of
motivation and success engages the most difficult to reach students with
life-changing insight. Much of Steve’s fire is fueled by personal
tragedy. In tribute to his loved ones, Steve travels the country as the
national One Way 2 Play-Drug Free spokesman for FCA and communicates
with relentless fervor to end drug use and abuse.
