Senate Concurrent Resolution No. by Senator Mizell designates Seymore D'Fair as Louisiana's Drug-Free Ambassador. Seymore, originally the mascot for the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition, has evolved into a cultural icon representing joy and community spirit in the state. His transition from a state emblem to a global figure has allowed him to engage in social advocacy, particularly in drug awareness and prevention through the Seymore D'Fair Foundation. The foundation has implemented various initiatives, including the "Just Say NO!" program for pre-adolescents and the "Kiki's Red Ribbon School Celebration," both aimed at educating children about the dangers of drug use in an engaging and interactive manner.

The resolution highlights the urgent need for effective drug prevention strategies in Louisiana, where a significant portion of the population has reported needing treatment for drug addiction without receiving it. Seymore D'Fair's friendly and approachable persona is seen as an effective tool in educational settings, fostering better engagement and retention of crucial drug prevention messages among children. By designating Seymore as the Drug-Free Ambassador, the resolution aims to leverage his influence to promote positive attitudes towards drug use, reduce abuse rates, and create a healthier environment for the youth in Louisiana.
