Binge drinking kills nearly 2,000 college students each year. The Sam Spady Foundation educates students on the dangers of alcohol, specifically high-risk consumption and the signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning. The foundation honors the memory of Samantha Spady, a Colorado State student who died of alcohol poisoning in 2004.
Sam was a 19-year-old Nebraska homecoming queen, high school class president and scholarship winner. She had looks, brains, youth and promise. But all that came to a sudden and tragic end when Sam shared too many shots of vodka, passed out and died alone in a fraternity house.
Executive Director Brian Alley delivers the foundation's message that alcohol can kill and provides information to empower students to use good judgment and drink responsibly.
