Kick Butts Day 2013 was a success! Members of Students Taking a New Direction, better known as STAND, were in local communities statewide. STAND members setup pledge walls asking their peers to pledge to be tobacco-free. Members donned t-shirts that read on the front “1,400 a day” and on the reverse, “500,000 a year.” These numbers signify the number of tobacco related days in the US daily and yearly respectively. In addition, the youth ‘dropped dead’ every 14 minutes to signify this statistic.
Please see below for some of our extended media coverage of the event. Thanks to all who participated in the planning and on the day of this event.
