Smoking Program Holding Magnet Contest - April 11, 2008
NORTH ADAMS — The QuitLinks tobacco-cessation program of the Reach Community Health Foundation will hold its first "Grab, Go and Win" magnet campaign.
The contest is simple: participants place a green QuitLinks magnet on their car and listen to "Family Medicine" with Paul Hopkins on WNAW AM-1230 on Wednesday mornings at 8:30. If you hear your license plate number announced, call QuitLinks at 413-664-5567 within 30 minutes and win $100 in prizes to North Berkshire businesses.
The contest begins on Wednesday, April 23, and ends on May 28. Magnets are available in the North Adams Regional Hospital lobby and at the Northern Berkshire YMCA, North Adams Public Library, Milne Library in Williamstown, Adams Free Library, Family Net playgroups, Northern Berkshire Community Action Council, Peebles, Olympia Sports, Moulton's Pizzeria, Moulton's General Store, Persnickety Toys and a number of other locations throughout North Berkshire.
"The magnets are part of an awareness campaign for the QuitLinks program that is available to Northern Berkshire County residents," said Tobacco Treatment Program coordinator Jennifer Civello. "We want the residents of Northern Berkshire County to know we are here to help you quit smoking."
QuitLinks offers support in either a one-on-one or group setting. The QuitLinks program is a free program open to all women of child-bearing age or a family member with young children. For more information, call 413-664-5567.
In addition to the magnet campaign, Northern Berkshire residents will see billboards on Curran Highway and River Street in North Adams. The billboards feature Katrina Bergman, a single mother who struggled to quit smoking and was successful with the help of nicotine replacement therapy.
The REACH Community Health Foundation is a nonprofit subsidiary of Northern Berkshire Healthcare and is dedicated to improving the health of the Northern Berkshire community. In addition to tobacco treatment programs, REACH runs programs in men’s health, breast cancer support and care navigation, caregiver support, dental health, children’s health, and nutrition and fitness. |
