On Wednesday, September 22, 2010, several professional athletes will spin tricks on skateboards, inline skates and bikes in the Plainfield North High School faculty parking lot to convey the message that tobacco is dangerous.
The athletes will put on two extreme sporting events on a 35 by 50-foot professional half pipe. The first demonstration will take place at 12:30 p.m., and the other at 1:35 p.m., at the school, 12005 South 248th Street, Plainfield.
Several of the world’s top professional skateboarders, BMX bikers and inline skaters will perform demonstrations and tricks while an emcee shares an anti-tobacco message.
The students will learn about the dangers of tobacco use in all forms as the role model athletes explain why they have remained tobacco-free.
Plainfield North’s Anti-Tobacco Program is being provided free by ASA Entertainment through a partnership with The Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids and a sponsorship by the United States Marines.
