The United Way of Anderson was recently awarded the Murray L. Vincent Outstanding Prevention Professional Award by Fact Forward in recognition of their program which "has significantly impacted the prevention of adolescent pregnancy in South Carolina."
The program, which began more than a decade ago, is now active in all Anderson County school districts.
United Way CEO Carol Burdette said the program has decreased teen pregnancies in some school districts by as much as 70 percent.
