Athletes Against Drugs
Dear Parents of an Athlete,
We at the office of Dr. Alan Nathans are partnering with Athletes Against Drugs (AAD), a national non-profit organization, to raise awareness of substance abuse among the young athletes of our community and to teach them how to reach their health and athletic potential naturally .
AAD’s mission is “leverage national and local athletes, celebrities, and corporate leaders to educate youth to make healthy life decisions”. Our vision is to “ h elp youth develop life skills for economic opportunities that will change their lives”. We have over 300 famous name athletes, all superstar professionals or Olympians, who have one thing in common: they form a select group of drug-free role models helping kids lead productive lives.
Founder Stedman Graham says, “AAD is excited about working with Dr. Eric Plasker and other LCFE chiropractors across the U.S. to help our youth live a better lifestyle through health and wellness programs.”
All student athletes that sign up for membership with AAD ($20 membership fee) will receive a complete spinal examination and computerized nerve scan (valued at $145) along with numerous other benefits including:
AAD Membership Opportunities:
| • AAD T-shirt
• Membership certificate • Mentoring opportunities • Free subscription to InSight magazine • Teen contests/sweepstakes • Internship opportunities |
• Workshop and seminar opportunities
• Opportunity to participate in AAD Youth special events and celebrity events • Complete spinal examination and computerized nerve scan (valued at $145). |
Youth athletics are a dynamic and beloved part of American culture, but injuries are on the rise and so is the use of performance enhancing and illegal drugs. Approximately 12 million children sustain sports-related injuries in the U.S. from collisions, falls, or contact from flying objects. Chiropractic care has long been used to restore injured athletes back to good health quickly and naturally, as well as achieve peak performance.
We are thrilled to be helping our community to achieve a drug-free lifestyle. Help your student athletes be healthy and drug free by becoming involved in this important organization and taking advantage of this complete spinal examination. Contact our office today for more information, sign your youth up for AAD, and make an appointment for your examination. We can be reached at 733 – 7393 or www.drnathans.com or you can visit our website www.drnathans.com.
I look forward to working together with you to help support our community’s student athletes.
Warmest Regards,
Alan Nathans , D.C.
