UW HONORED FOR CONTRIBUTION TO D.A.R.E. PROGRAM

LARAMIE -- The University of Wyoming athletics  department will be 
honored today for its contributions  to the Laramie Police 
Department's D.A.R.E. program at  the Rochelle Athletics Center. 
Deputy Director of  Athletics Barbara Burke will accept the award on 
behalf  of the athletics department.

This fall, the athletics department entered into a  partnership with 
the Laramie Police Department to form  the Albany County Drug-free 
Youth Support Program,  which provides sixth grade D.A.R.E. students 
opportunities to attend 45 athletic events at Wyoming  free of charge.

"I am very excited about this program and immeasurable  support that 
the University of Wyoming Athletics  Department has given the 
D.A.R.E. Program, and our  youth who choose to remain drug-free and 
make wise decisions," D.A.R.E. officer Erica Rich said in a  release.
