Our friends at Youthrise use pieces of the PATCH program and build in community based projects related to health EVERY MONTH!

Participated in the Butt Pick-Up at the Frankfort TPA Park yesterday. This group was dedicated through the cold and rainy weather to make a difference! *Each flag represents a tobacco product that was picked up by the leaders*
