Prevent youth tobacco use

For the first time, mini-grants are available to fund Kick Butts Day events.

The $500 or $1000 grants will be used to support youth-planned events to encourage their peers to be tobacco-free. There are no special eligibility requirements for organizations, so this could be used by any number of community groups.

The sponsors are looking for a combination of creativity, youth involvement in planning and implementing events, detailed description, a strong communications/media plan, and demonstrated financial need. Educational items, materials, and local transportation are among the eligible costs.

The deadline to apply is January 27, 2012. More information is available at the Kick Butts Day site.
