Watertown DASH is an acronym for Drug Free, Alcohol-Free, Safe & Healthy, and the mission is “To challenge community partnerships to lead by example and to empower Watertown youth to choose to live healthy and positive lifestyles.” Kids learn by the examples and expectations set for them. On a national level, a social norm of “kids will be kids” has developed when it comes to alcohol and drug use, as if it is a “rite of passage.” This program was created by the Watertown Police Department and volunteers from the Watertown community in 2012 to stop that trend. In the past 10 years, Watertown DASH has hosted or sponsored several safe and healthy family events, awarded several recipients with a $500 scholarship, has had over 7,000 total participants attend the events, and awarded participants with approximately 2,000 medals! No greater good can be done than helping a child live a safe and healthy life. Watertown DASH is 100% funded by community partners and donations are placed in a police fund that was established at the Watertown Community Foundation.
Please contact us at 605-882-5238 if you have any questions or would like to hear more about the program. You can also “like” us on Facebook at Watertown DASH. Please mail donations to:
