Includes:

  • Refreshments.
  • Free "tobacco-free" signs for businesses and organizations enacting tobacco-free outdoor policies (or apartments enacting tobacco-free indoor policies).
  • Opportunities to advocate for tobacco prevention, and information about volunteering.
  • Small gifts for volunteers and organizations we're recognizing.
  • Educational materials.

Things you need to know:

  • Advance registration is not required.
  • This event is FREE.
  • This event is mainly for adults, but teenagers may attend if registered in advance and accompanied by an adult.
  • This event is limited to people who live or work in Herkimer, Oneida, and Madison Counties.
  • There is never any obligation, we are not selling anything, no one else will see or have access to your information, and we will never ask you for a donation.
