ACE spread awareness to the dangers of inhalant abuse, while encouraging parents to talk to their children. ACE held pre-game activities to inform fans about the negative consequences of using inhalants. PSAs created in partnership with the teams and players played throughout the game, and ACE was available on the concourse to distribute information and engage with fans. ACE also worked with the teams on summer safety presentations that were held throughout the season at local camps. Players met with campers and discussed the importance of staying healthy and knowing what you put into your body.
