About Our Company Each year in America, millions of young people are faced with a decision – a decision about using drugs. The Partnership for a Drug-Free, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization created by the communications industry in 1986, helps these young people avoid illicit drug use by influencing attitudes, choices, and behavior. Starting with the now iconic “fried egg” ad - “This is your brain on drugs…Any questions?” – the Partnership has executed its mission of reducing illicit drug use in America by providing relevant, research-based public education campaigns of high impact, delivered through all forms of the media, including TV, radio, and print advertising and over the internet. Parenting guides and educational brochures along with public relations activities, earned media, news conferences, and editorial board briefings reinforce and expand the reach and impact of these campaigns. The Partnership’s marketplace strategy is ever-evolving to meet the needs of the public; today, the Partnership is developing programs that will partner with parents to deliver deeper information and additional tools and resources.
