Leon Farmer & Company is committed to the responsible and legal consumption of its products. We work closely with our brewing partners, retailers, local stakeholders and community leaders to deliver programs and solutions that address a wide range of alcohol issues. It is our belief that by working together we can all make a difference.

Anheuser-Busch

Anheuser-Busch has always been at the forefront of the industry’s responsibility efforts. With programs such as We I.D., Family Talk, and Good Sport, Anheuser-Busch and its wholesalers invest millions of dollars and thousands of hours each year to promote responsibility.

Designate a Driver

Designating a driver is a key element of enjoying responsibly and we encourage everyone to plan ahead. In addition to promoting ad campaigns like Decide to Ride, we partner with safe ride services like Lyft during football season and other special events.

For many years, we proudly sponsored Designated Dawgs, a non-profit organization that provided safe, free rides home for college students and other individuals in Athens. Designated Dawgs operated out of a central “dispatch” location in downtown Athens and was staffed by UGA student volunteers during fall and spring semesters. From 2001 to 2023, Designated Dawgs provided nearly 100,000 safe rides.

Linda Dutil

Community Speaker

Each year Leon Farmer & Company partners with an inspirational speaking partner who visits grade schools, colleges and universities to share important messages with young people about responsibility. ER nurse Linda Dutil, whose impactful program “A Dose of Reality” is based on her first hand experiences in the emergency room, presents age-appropriate information about drugs and alcohol as well as how to make good choices. Nurse Dutil has adapted her program during the pandemic to continue providing this vital information to children and teens through Zoom.

As part of our community outreach efforts, Leon Farmer & Company is honored to work with Nurse Dutil to offer her program to schools in our 27-county area. If your school would like to host Nurse Dutil for an in-person assembly, please contact us!

Leon Farmer & Company works closely with these as well as many other businesses, educational institutions and coalitions to positively impact Athens and the communities of Northeast Georgia. As parents and neighbors, we are relentless in our efforts to ensure the responsible and legal consumption of our products.
