Panhandle Prep ad highlights area athletes who are tobacco and vape-free

Panhandle Public Health District once again has partnered with area students to spread the word on the dangers of tobacco use of any kind. The campaign features high school athletes from around the region who committed to saying no to the harmful effects of tobacco and how it can affect their performances on and off the field. A campaign on the district’s Facebook page features three athletes from around the Panhandle who are leading the charge in their schools on vowing to not use tobacco or vape products. The fall ad highlights Xander Provance of Chadron, Rheagan Stanley of Sidney, and Ruthie Goltl Loomis of Bridgeport. Whichever athlete has the most “likes” on Facebook by September 5th will receive a $250 scholarship courtesy of the district.
