CMB Volunteers and ADIC present ‘Soccer Art 2016’

CMB Volunteers, together with the Alcohol and Drug Information Centre (ADIC - Sri Lanka), presents ‘Soccer Art 2016’ on 3 November from 1.00 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. at the Racecourse Good Market premises. 

Open to the public and free of charge, this is an event that has been created to promote an alcohol and drug-free environment among Sri Lanka’s vast youth community. It will feature many fun-filled and exciting activities ranging from an action-packed street soccer tournament to a street art contest.

The street soccer tournament is open to youth between the ages of 16 and 29. There will be 12 teams with seven members in each team. The graffiti art competition will consist of 10 teams and the number of participants per team will be 1-3 members. 

Both competitions have exciting cash prizes on offer for the winners and first and second runners-up. The event will end on a high note with an after-party with DJs in attendance and music for non-stop dancing.

The Alcohol and Drug Information Centre (ADIC - Sri Lanka) was established as an independent organisation in 1990 and is today a recognised National Resource Centre, promoting drug demand reduction and developing new strategies.

The CMB Volunteer program is an approach initiated by ADIC to establish a sustainable process to minimise the use of harmful substances such as alcohol, tobacco and other drugs among the youth in Sri Lanka. CMB volunteers are a group of young individuals who work with a collective mission to change attitudes about such drugs.
