Implications 

        and how we accomplished our goals

1.  To organize and publicize a community-wide event

     - In order to accomplish this goal Tracy and I had to contact

many local radio and television stations, such as WTOC and Kiss

97.3.  They assisted us in the promotion and advertisement of

the Great  American Smokeout walk. 

      - We also created flyers and distributed them throughout

AASU and both of the local hospitals.  While passing out flyers

we also had the oppurtunity to discuss the walk with the

employees

      -  To make sure the walk was organized we created a

 presentation with many facts about smoking and quitting      

2.  Raise awareness and/or money to support a cause

     - To raise awareness Tracy and I obtained important

 information about smoking and how it can affect a person's

coronary arteries.Doing this we had images from patients

that suffer from Coronary Artery Disease

      - At the booth we had a donation box available for the public

to donate to the (ACS) American Cancer Society and was

able to raise money and give that back to the ACS

      - We also had available a notebook with real stories and

images of  patients with coronary and peripheral artery disease

     - Brochures were also given out to the public to take home

and read.  These brochures discussed risks of smoking, quitting,

and damage of second hand smoke

3.  Get the Great American Smokeout Walk to continue

     and become an annual event

     - While promoting this event Tracy and I were able speak

with representatives from ACS and they were really interested

in the event and would assist in keeping this event a early practice.  

4.  Petition and possibly pass legislature that will affect

     the state of Georgia

     - At the walk we made available a petition to sign to raise

the cigarette tax in GA $1.  We obtained the walkers name,

address, and email address to submit online

      -We had some participants sign but not enough to pass

legislature
