Drug-Free World Brings Drug Prevention Education to Los Angeles County FIFA World Cup Watch Party

The Drug-Free World Foundation brought its drug-prevention education campaign to hundreds of attendees at a FIFA World Cup watch party at Amelia Mayberry Park in Los Angeles County on June 24, 2026. The event, held during the Czechia vs. Mexico match, featured the Drug-Free World Mobile Exhibit as part of the organization's FIFA World Cup campaign. Approximately 250 people engaged directly with the exhibit, while several toured the full display. Volunteers distributed thousands of copies of the organization's Truth About Drugs educational booklets to attendees.

The outreach generated strong interest from local community members and public service organizations. A local official expressed appreciation for having drug-prevention materials available and suggested working with the park organizer to provide boxes of booklets to a nearby teen center. One attendee, who had overcome drug addiction and been sober for 20 years, shared her story and requested to record the exhibit to share with her family. She also discussed bringing Truth About Drugs materials to a school in her community.

The event organizer was so impressed with the resources that she took the remaining boxes of booklets for community distribution and expressed enthusiasm about future collaboration. Community-service professionals also showed interest: a representative from a social services organization received an information kit and 200 booklets and expressed interest in arranging a Drug-Free World presentation. Another attendee, who provides medical services to unhoused individuals, requested 200 booklets after explaining that she regularly encounters the effects of drug use.

Children at the watch party also participated by signing the Drug-Free World pledge board, committing to live a drug-free life. By the conclusion of the event, Drug-Free World had distributed approximately 3,000 Truth About Drugs booklets, provided educational portfolios, and engaged hundreds of attendees through its prevention outreach.

The Drug-Free World Foundation is dedicated to educating young people and adults about the truth regarding drugs so they can make informed decisions and live drug-free lives. Through educational materials, community outreach, presentations, and public-awareness campaigns, Drug-Free World works with individuals, families, schools, and community organizations to promote drug prevention.
