Yukon Liquor Corporation Helps Grad Have a Safe and Memorable Evening
WHITEHORSE – Yukon Liquor Corporation supports substance-free graduation activities.
“Graduation is a wonderful milestone and a time to celebrate with family, friends and the community,” Minister responsible for Yukon Liquor Corporation Jim Kenyon said. “Yukon Liquor Corporation is proud to assist graduation committees with substance-free activities that keep our grads safe.”
Yukon Liquor Corporation is providing $3200 towards substance-free activities for graduating classes. An additional $1080 was raised through the Substance-free Grad Chocolate Campaign in Yukon liquor stores this spring, and YLC has made a matching contribution to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Yukon.
