Touch a Truck

Saturday, June 24, 2023, 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

While the rates of cigarette smoking have declined over the past several decades, from 42% in 1965 to 14% in 2019, the gains have been inconsistent. Some groups smoke more heavily or at higher rates and suffer disproportionately from smoking-related cancer and other diseases. These populations tend to be those who experience inequities in multiple areas of their lives, including those at lower socioeconomic levels, those without college degrees, American Indians/Alaska natives, African American/Black communities, LGBTQ communities, those in the military, those with behavioral health conditions, and others.

A day of acknowledging our daily superheroes! Come explore trucks and have fun while we all learn about preventing youth substance use. Have some fun entering and learning about equipment law enforcement and emergency responders use on a daily basis to keep us safe as well as breaking down barriers with protective, trusted adults in our community. Snacks will be provided!

Rain Date for this event: Sunday, June 25th, 2023
