It Takes Many Voices to Make Change Happen

Last week, the American Heart Association was excited to volunteer at this year’s ReACT Summit in Helena.

Under the direction of the Montana Tobacco Use Prevention Program (MTUPP), ReACT works to address the issue of youth and tobacco addiction. ReACTor’s main objective is to become the first-ever tobacco-free generation in Montana. The Medieval themed three-day summit was filled with fun, a Medieval fashion show, pool noodle jousting and seven breakout sessions including how a bill becomes a law and how to testify in committee at the Montana legislature. Participants became knights of the ReACT roundtable, equipped to joust Big Tobacco out of Montana and their generation. You can find out more about ReACT and it’s work here.
