The Smoke-Free Class of 2000 is sponsoring a letter-writing contest for seventh-grade students.
Students are asked to research a tobacco interest and write a letter on that topic requesting action from an elected official.
Two winners from Missouri will receive a trip to the Smoke-Free Class of 2000 National Youth Ambassador Forum in Washington, June 10 to 14.
In addition, 12 prizes will be awarded to students who participate in a random drawing.
Students and teachers can receive information by calling the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association or American Lung Association.
