Maine Beer & Wine Distributors Association Partners with WABI-TV to Promote Responsibility
Recently, the Maine Beer & Wine Distributors Association announced a partnership with WABI-TV 5 to promote responsibility in Maine during the prom and graduation season to support two local television programs and produce public service announcements featuring Olympian Julia Clukey.
"This is a very exciting time for high school students and there are lots of decisions they will face in the coming weeks. As a student at Cony, I can remember making a lot of decisions during this time of year, so I am proud to be a part of the MBWDA's responsibility initiative and help support students to make good decisions," said Olympian Julia Clukey.
Julia Clukey will be a big part of the partnership with WABI-TV. She has recorded two television public service announcements that will debut during the two shows and air through the end of May. She has also recorded a PSA for radio that will air in June on several radio stations in Maine.
