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, drew more than 45,000 attendees and showcased hundreds of classic cars, live music, vendor booths, and family activities.
The Drug-Free World Mobile Exhibit provided visitors of all ages with free, fact-based educational materials designed to prevent drug abuse and empower youth to live drug-free lives. Visitors 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 that detailed the real-world physical and mental impacts of drug abuse, free materials for families and educators such as comprehensive informational booklets, DVDs, and curriculum packs available at no cost, and a pledge drive where 141 individuals, mainly children and teens, took the "Drug-Free Pledge."
