John,

We hope you'll join us virtually on September 29th for Fighting for Change, our 2021 Youth Advocates of the Year Awards.

Today, we're proud to announce the recipient of our highest youth honor:

Milton is truly taking on #TheToughestFights to create the first tobacco-free generation – and we can't wait for you to meet him!

Milton was motivated to get involved in tobacco prevention by his grandfather, a life-long tobacco user. He quickly realized the power of his voice to make a difference for the health of his community and peers. A passionate, driven and effective advocate, Milton’s work has spanned the local, state and national levels.

Milton has never let his age limit his capabilities. Highlights include:

• Testifying before the Sacramento City Council in support of legislation to end the sale of flavored tobacco products (successfully passed).
• Rallying youth for a large virtual tobacco education event: Youth Quest 2021.
• Being one of the first high school students to intern with Action on Smoking & Health, a partner in the tobacco prevention movement.

We’re thrilled to honor him with the 2021 Barrie Fiske National Youth Advocate of the Year Award.

Be there to support him! Register now to attend our virtual Youth Advocates of the Year Awards >>
