Prom Promise
Students at Summers County
High School were given the
opportunity to sign and keep a
promise not to use drugs or alcohol
on prom night. In addition to having
a safe and memorable night, local
business owners added the incentive
of prizes that will be award to
students who sign and keep that
important promise.
The Ann Gore Insurance Agency
has sponsored this program for 25
years. "Although Nationwide
Insurance is no longer a sponsor of
the program, I think Prom Promise
has become very important to our
teens and I have continued
supporting this worthwhile
program. I believe I am the only
agent in West Virginia that is still
involved with From Promise, but I
believe that the message of this
program is vitally important to our
teens," Ann said. I appreciate the
