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 where young people gather. The exhibit also connected with individuals whose personal experiences gave particular meaning to the message. One attendee shared that she had overcome drug addiction and had been sober for 20 years. She appreciated the educational materials, requested to record the exhibit to share with her family, and discussed bringing Truth About Drugs materials to a school in her community.
The event organizer was so impressed with the resources that she took remaining boxes of booklets for community distribution, expressing enthusiasm about future collaboration. Community-service professionals also showed interest. A representative from an organization providing social services 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, explaining that she regularly encounters the effects of drug use and wanted materials to share.
Children attending the watch party also showed interest by signing the Drug-Free World pledge board, committing to a drug-free life. By the conclusion, Drug-Free World had distributed approximately 3,000 Truth About Drugs booklets, provided educational portfolios, and engaged hundreds through its outreach.
The Drug-Free World Foundation is dedicated to educating youth and adults about the truth regarding drugs so they can make informed decisions. Through educational materials, community outreach, presentations, and public-awareness campaigns, the organization works with individuals, families, schools, and community groups to promote drug prevention.
