We are honoring 100 years of Black History Month observances by empowering the next generation to tell the story.

Come support our youth. Come experience history in motion.

It's SUPER BOWL SUNDAY 🏈🏈🏈 We Want Everyone to be Safe!

Game day should end with cheers and high fives, not headlights and sirens. As you plan your Super Bowl watch party, make a safety game plan now.

Choose a sober driver, use a rideshare or taxi, or stay the night. If you are hosting, collect keys at the door, serve plenty of food and alcohol-free drinks, and stop serving alcohol by the start of the fourth quarter.

See someone about to drive after drinking… intercept those keys and help them get a safe ride. Let’s keep Henrico safe on Super Bowl Sunday.

Helpful resources: NHTSA Super Bowl safety tips at NHTSA.gov, local rideshare apps, and 911 in emergencies.
