The Think About It speaking team is comprised of individuals with varying personal stories including those who have and have not remained abstinent. Our personal stories are relevant and encouraging and will give participants a chance to re-commit to abstinence, if they so desire.
How much does a Think About It presentation cost?
Think About It suggests a donation per presentation to cover transportation, literature and other costs. However, we do not want the lack of resources to stand in the way of anyone hearing this important message. If funding is not available, we are happy to provide you with a presentation.
