"Three-time Olympic medalist and U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team Captain Aly Raisman and her parents, Lynn and Rick Raisman, joined The Century Council and its Ask, Listen, Learn: Kids and Alcohol Don't Mix program to encourage parents and kids to have active discussions about the dangers of underage drinking. In addition to promoting an ongoing dialog between parents and kids, the program aims to embolden youth to 'say YES to a healthy lifestyle and NO to underage drinking.'

The partnership with Aly, Lynn and Rick emphasizes the entire family should be involved in these discussions." Read More
