Medford National Little League: Welcome
July 3 is the deadline for Little Leaguers to submit an entry for the 2009 National Spit Tobacco Education Program (NSTEP) Slogan Contest.
In 10 words or less, Little Leaguers are asked to create an original slogan that effectively describes the hazards of spit tobacco use. All current Little League Baseball and Softball players age 14 and under are eligible.
NSTEP will award the winner with a paid trip for two for one night, including airfare, hotel accommodations and ground transportation to the Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport, Pa. (Please note: The World Series begins August 21, 2009 and concludes August 30, 2009. The winner must be able to travel during this period.)
The winner will receive a prize valued up to $500 and the winner's Little League will receive $500 from NSTEP.

NSTEP was founded in 1994 as an effort to educate the baseball family and the American public about the dangers of smokeless or spit tobacco, and break the long-standing link between this potentially deadly drug and Americas pastime. Each year, 10 to 16 million Americans put their health at risk by using smokeless tobacco products.
The NSTEP mission is to prevent people, especially children and young adults, from starting to use spit tobacco, and to help all users quit.
