Oral Health America (OHA) has launched the 12th annual NSTEP (National Spit Tobacco Program) slogan contest.
Teaming up with Little League Baseball and Softball, the program calls on players ages 8-14 to create a 10-word phrase describing the dangers of spit tobacco for a chance to win a trip to the Little League Baseball World Series.
Together, NSTEP and Little League are working to educate families about the risks of spit tobacco use, including oral cancer, periodontal disease, tooth decay, and nicotine addiction.
The participant with the most creative slogan will receive an all-expenses paid trip to the Little League Baseball World Series in South Williamsport, PA, and a $500 cash prize. In addition, Oral Health America will make a $500 donation to the player's Little League organization.
