The exhibit will be on display at the Colorado Mills Mall in Lakewood, Colo., from Friday, October 20th until Sunday, October 22nd to educate teens and their parents about a tragic consequence of underage drinking -- devastating motor vehicle crashes -- as well as the ongoing and critical need for victim support.
