Family Day - A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children - September 24, 2012!

About

Family Day – A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children™ is a national movement promoting parental engagement as a tool to help keep kids substance free. Mission Family Day – A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children™ is a national movement launched by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University (CASAColumbia™) in 2001 to remind parents that frequent family Dinners Make A Difference! While there are no silver bullets – substance abuse can strike any family regardless of ethnicity, affluence, age or gender – the parental engagement fostered at the dinner table can be a simple, effective tool to help prevent substance abuse in kids.

Family Day began as a grassroots initiative and has grown to become a nationwide celebration. Every year, families, faith-based organizations, elected officials, Major League Baseball teams, corporations and landmarks across the country celebrate and promote Family Day.
