1,200 PINWHEELS DISPLAYED ON ZANFINO PLAZA FOR KICK BUTT DAY

William Paterson University will participate in the national “Kick Butt Day,” a campaign to raise awareness of tobacco danger. On March 24, the University’s Counseling, Health and Wellness Center will sponsor a visual display. The Center’s Peer Health Advocates will place 1,200 pinwheels in Zanfino Plaza to represent the number of people who die each day from smoke related illnesses.

The Peer Health Advocates will be on hand to answer questions and distribute literature about smoking and smoke-related illnesses.

The best photo op of the pinwheel display is from 12:30 to 2 p.m. Zanfino Plaza is located in front of building #18, Machuga Student Center on the University Commons [campus map at http://ww2.wpunj.edu/aboutus/directions/cmap.cfm].

For more information, please contact Marianne Edmond, William Paterson University Counseling, Health and Wellness Center heath educator, at 973.720.2924.
