Supervisor Daniel J. Panico and Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich participated in the Town of Brookhaven's annual "Sticker Shock" Campaign on May 30, 2025. This initiative is organized by the Drug Prevention Coalition to raise awareness about the dangers of adults purchasing alcohol or vape products for minors.
Ward Melville High School students played a key role in this campaign by designing stickers as part of a competition. The top three designs were selected by the Drug Prevention Coalition and distributed at local businesses with assistance from the student designers and their classmates.
Students visited several community locations, including 7-Eleven in Port Jefferson Station, Setauket Beer and Beverage, and Luigi’s Pizzeria. They placed warning stickers on alcoholic beverage cases, takeout bags, and pizza boxes to communicate an important public health message to residents.
Supervisor Panico and Councilmember Kornreich joined students at these sites to support their efforts and acknowledge the positive impact of this student-driven initiative. The event was facilitated through collaboration between the Town, Three Village Central School District, Suffolk County Police Department, and local business owners.
The Town of Brookhaven expressed gratitude to all participating students, educators, business owners, and coalition partners for their cooperation in this meaningful effort.
