Kick Butts Day
Kick Butts Day is a national day of activism that empowers youth to speak up and take action against tobacco use at more than 2,000 events from coast to coast.
KBD (www.kickbuttsday.org) is the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids' annual celebration of youth advocacy, leadership and activism, and is an important opportunity to raise awareness about the tobacco problem and support strong tobacco prevention policies.
In recognition of Kick Butts Day, the South Carolina Tobacco Collaborative holds an annual 5K event - the Kick Butts 5K - in Columbia to raise awareness and involve local youth. The 2008 event was a great success, and we look forward to announcing a 2009 date.
