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. The event, one of Southern California's premier classic car gatherings, drew over 45,000 attendees and showcased hundreds of classic cars, live music, vendor booths, and family activities. Amid the festivities, the Drug-Free World Mobile Exhibit offered visitors free, fact-based educational materials aimed at preventing drug abuse and empowering youth to live drug-free lives.
Visitors to the Mobile Exhibit explored high-impact audio and visual displays, and received free Truth About Drugs educational booklets covering substances including alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs, and synthetics. The exhibit provided an interactive experience designed to inform and engage individuals of all ages on the risks associated with drug use.
'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 were also available, including comprehensive informational booklets, DVDs, and curriculum packs at no cost. Additionally, the exhibit hosted a pledge drive, providing opportunities for youth and community members to take the Drug-Free Pledge. During the event, 141 individuals, mainly children and teens, committed to a drug-free lifestyle.
