Module 5 Grant- Walesca Marrero

I have chosen to write this grant for this assignment since it is due in April I thought it was a great easy grant to put together. I am really excited about developing a tobacco informational app that people can down load and it will hopefully have good information on prevention reources. This will not be done in one semester but by the end of the grant cycle.

Describe your mini grant project. 

How will funding be used?

These Funds will be used to develop an aggressive media campaign using tools such as social media networking, the development of an app for the danger on tobacco use, brochures, and local newspaper to create a clear and concise message on the prevention of tobacco use. The message will be, Taylor County will promote a Healthy and Smoke Free Community for children and Families. During the media campaign Taylor County Collaborative FRN will also be hosting several other events with other groups such as PATCH, Taylor County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition and our local Health Department. These activities will be done as a collaborative effort to bring information and education to the community.

What is the expected outcome?

Education and resources will be disseminated at Town hall meetings, Taylor County Fair, and county events. Our goal is to really saturate the county consistently and effectively.
