'Gordie Day' Events Designed to Teach Students About Dangers of Hazing, Alcohol Poisoning PDF Print E-mail
Throughout the world, high school and college students will spend a few moments today learning about the potentially devastating effects of peer pressure, hazing and alcohol poisoning.

According to a Sept. 22 article by Nancy Churnin of The Dallas Morning News, the global awareness event, which is known as "Gordie Day," was created by Leslie and Michael Lanahan to memorialize their son, Lynn Gordon Bailey Jr.:
Gordie was 18 and a freshman at the University of Colorado five years ago when he drank whiskey and wine as part of a fraternity hazing, was left to "sleep it off" and died of alcohol poisoning.

The Lanahans could have withdrawn into their pain. Instead, they turned it into the Gordie Foundation, which establishes Circle of Trust chapters to address the dangers of peer pressure and hazing, teach the signs of alcohol poisoning and encourage young people to pledge to call for help as needed.

The event is offered in conjunction with National Hazing Prevention Week (sponsored by HazingPrevention.org) in recognition that this is a likely week for hazing.
