Parent to Parent would like to thank NCADD-NJ for its support in the Just a Nickel a Gallon Campaign.
The moms of Parent to Parent with Gov. Jon Corzine at Burlington County Community College on April 5. The governor indicated he would consider dedicating alcohol tax revenues to the Alcohol Education Rehabilitation Enforcement Fund.

 



" ...Meanwhile, 10 of the P2P women surrounded the governor after his talk at Rowan last week. They took home no promises.
He took home a jug."

EVERY NICKEL COUNTS FOR ADDICTION TREATMENT


Parent-To-Parent launches JUST A NICKEL A GALLON CAMPAIGN because as parents we’ve found it necessary to take matters into our own hands because our state elected officials have been unwilling to increase the tax on alcohol – even by JUST A NICKEL A GALLON– to increase addiction treatment opportunities in New Jersey.

Short-Term Goal
Raise money for our addicted children, who otherwise would not be able to be treated for their addiction; continuing this effort - one nickel at a time - until the goal of increasing the alcohol tax by just a nickel a
gallon is met.

Your nickels add up to help someone access the addiction treatment they need:

  • 3800 NICKELS will buy one inpatient day.
  • 1300 NICKELS will buy one outpatient day.
Long-Term Goal
Identify grass roots advocates ready to build an advocacy campaign aimed at passage of legislation to increase addiction treatment opportunities by increasing the alcohol tax by
JUST A NICKEL A GALLON.
Your support for JUST A NICKEL A GALLON tax increase will generate $10 million in revenue for addiction treatment and help to save 3,800 lives.

YES!
