NEWS: PS Solutions Works with

Altoona Lung Specialists on Youth

Non-Smoking Campaign

By Wayne Hippo

June 19, 2020

PS Solutions Foundation was thrilled to participate with a great partner, Altoona Lung Specialists, and their Lung Disease Foundation. The Lung Disease Foundation wanted to help educate kids on the dangers of smoking at a time when they weren’t in school. They worked to provide elementary students in Blair County with educational materials in the form of a coloring book as part of their “Be Smart, Say No To Smoking” Coloring Contest. They distributed approximately 1800-2000 coloring books and contest flyers in the Altoona School District, Hollidaysburg School District, and Tyrone School District. PS Solutions donated a Galaxy Tablet as the Grand Prize. Yesterday, Dr. George Zlupko, Sherri Stayer, and our own Joe Merilli presented the Grand Prize to the contest winner. Congratulations to the winner and thank you to Dr. Zlupko, Sherri Stayer, and our Friends at Altoona Lung Specialists for allowing us to be part of this campaign.
