Partnering up for change.
Lindy Marching Band
Babylon Cares partners up with the talented Lindy Marching Band to address topics and share critical information and statistics that relate to awareness in our community. We also extend the partnership opportunities to local businesses that would like to get involved in making an impact directly. The latest campaign had kids in the “life skills” classes in school put the information gathered on cups that were distributed at their big events at the school to spread the information to the community members in attendance.
A look at the numbers!
The fact that underage drinking in Lindenhurst has decreased by 18% from 2013 to 2022 suggests a positive trend in reducing alcohol consumption among young people in the area. This decline may reflect successful efforts by the community, schools, and local organizations to combat underage drinking.
The incidence of Lindenhurst parents allowing underage drinking on their property has decreased by 20%. This decline suggests that more parents are becoming aware of the legal, health, and safety risks associated with enabling alcohol consumption among minors. It reflects a positive shift in attitudes, where parents are likely taking a stronger stance against underage drinking and recognizing their role in fostering responsible behavior.
In Lindenhurst, 85% of the youth do not use vapes, indicating a significant majority of young people are making the decision to avoid vaping. This statistic reflects positively on the community’s efforts to educate and raise awareness about the potential health risks associated with vaping.
From 2016 to 2023, the percentage of youth in Lindenhurst who reported easy access to alcohol decreased by 12.7%.

Stricter enforcement of alcohol-related laws, along with educational programs focused on the risks of underage drinking, may have contributed to this positive trend.
