• SRSLY
  The Coghlan Family Foundation, co-founded by Michael and Suzanne Coghlan of Saline, has brought to life a long-time vision of preventing youth substance abuse in Chelsea. Because of the Foundation's generous support and creative efforts, a new program has been launched that is aimed at reducing high-risk behavior in 10-15-year-olds in Chelsea. The program, known as SRSLY ("seriously" as it is spelled in text messages), is a result of the Coghlan's strong interest in preventing teen substance abuse.
