Scholarships available for tobacco-free Montana high school rodeo stars 

The reACT “Tobacco Free” Rodeo All-Star campaign is proud to announce that the American Heart Association has agreed to underwrite $1,000 in scholarship money for the reACT “Tobacco Free” Rodeo All-Stars of the Year.

The reACT “Tobacco Free” Rodeo All-Star campaign honors the best male and female rodeo competitors who have pledged not to use tobacco products. The male and female reACT “Tobacco Free” Rodeo All-Star of the Year will receive a $500 scholarship from the American Heart Association.

“Eliminating tobacco use, especially among youth, lowers the risk of developing stroke and heart disease,” Montana’s Director of Government Affairs for the American Heart Association Cliff Christian said. “The AHA strongly supports efforts like those of reACT to fund youth educational programs, establish smoke-free public places, and to regulate the manufacture, sale, distribution, labeling, and promotion of all tobacco products.”
