Jerrick Lewis, Executive Director of the John R.

In an effort to reduce drunk driving accidents this holiday season, Glugeth & Pierguidi, P.C. is proud to offer a New Year's Eve free ride to anyone celebrating this year. The campaign, which takes place in the New Jersey/New York City metropolitan area, will provide reimbursements for those who use an Uber, Lyft, or taxi instead of driving.
Why You Should Take a Free Ride in New York City or New Jersey This Year
The New Year's festivities in New York City is one of the largest in the world.
According to the National Safety Council (NSC), around 36% of all fatalities during the New Year's Holiday in 2019 involved a drunk driver. In fact, 2019 data from the City of New York indicates that there were 22 crashes involving a drunk driver over both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Most accidents happened before 8 AM on New Year's Day, and most involved an injury or fatality.
From this data alone, it's easy to see why so many people are so adamant about driving safely during the New Year holiday. In the New Jersey/New York City area, it's especially important because of the high number of drunk driving related injuries and deaths.
How to Get Your Free Ride
If you find yourself drinking on New Year's Eve, simply get a ride in an Uber, Lyft, or taxi. Once you get to your final destination, send a copy of your receipt and your ID to the following address within 10 business days:
Glugeth & Pierguidi, P.C.

- The ride must be taken within the NYC or New Jersey metropolitan area;
- You must be of legal drinking age (i.e. 21 or older);
- Reimbursement is only valid for a single one-way ride;
- The ride must be taken between 5 PM on December 31, 2022 and 10 AM on January 1, 2023;

Santa Skis for Charity at Banff Sunshine Village Christmas Day
Santa Shreds for a Good Cause
In 2019, hundreds of Santas flocked to the slopes of Banff Sunshine to raise money for a good cause. This year, the resort is hoping to raise $10,000 for The Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation.
Get in the festive spirit by giving back. On Dec. 25 (Christmas Day), 2022, dress up as your favorite Christmas character and join us on the slopes of Banff Sunshine Village to carve up Canada's Best Snow for only $75.
This Christmas, when you dress up as Santa, Mrs. Claus, an Elf, a Reindeer, the Grinch or other beloved Christmas character, you'll ski or ride for just $75. All proceeds from the charity ski event will go to support The Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation.
"Christmas is a time to enjoy family and friends while reflecting on what you have to be grateful for (like fresh mountain air and good health); just as it's a time to give back to those in our community who could use a kind hand. With rising hospital demand for pediatric care, this Christmas, giving back to our community by raising funds for the Alberta Children's Hospital just makes sense," says Kendra Scurfield, Director of Brand and Communications for Banff Sunshine Village.
Located in the heart of Banff, Banff Sunshine Village is hoping to welcome over 100 festively dressed Christmas characters for a day of holiday cheer on the Canadian Rocky Mountain slopes.
"As winter sets in, our hearts are warmed by the compassion and generosity of our community and all the amazing ways they raise funds for the kids and families, like Banff Sunshine's Santa Skis for Charity. From The Alberta Children's Hospital, thank you," says Liz Ballendine, Vice President, Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation.
Banff Sunshine's Santa Skis for Charity is an all-ages event. Anyone dressed in Christmas theme can ski for $75 in support of The Alberta Children's Hospital.
"Back in 2019, our Santa Skis for Charity event brought over 200 jolly-dressed skiers and riders out for a Christmas ski. This year, our ambitious goal is to raise $10,000 for The Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation," says Scurfield.
