The Foundation for a Drug-Free World featured its interactive Mobile Exhibit at the 31st Annual Glendale Cruise Night on Saturday, July 18, 2026, from 5:30 PM to 10:30 PM along Brand Boulevard in Downtown Glendale. This event, one of Southern California's premier classic car gatherings, attracted over 45,000 attendees and included hundreds of classic cars, live music, vendor booths, and family activities.
The Mobile Exhibit provided visitors with free, fact-based educational materials aimed at preventing drug abuse and empowering youth to lead drug-free lives. Attendees explored high-impact audio and visual displays and received free Truth About Drugs educational booklets covering substances such as alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs, and synthetics.
“Reaching youth and families where they gather is vital to effective drug prevention,” said Karla Bartholomew, Chapter President for Foundation for a Drug-Free World. “Cruise Night offers a wonderful community setting to share fact-based information that empowers individuals—especially young people—to make informed, healthy life choices.”
Key highlights of the exhibit included interactive educational displays detailing the real-world physical and mental impacts of drug abuse, free materials for families and educators including comprehensive informational booklets, DVDs, and curriculum packs, and a pledge drive where 141 individuals—mainly children and teens—took the Drug-Free Pledge.
