Taking the "Your Weight Matters" Challenge is just the first-step! Many individuals want to know what else they can do to help in the campaign to assist in spreading the campaign’s message to others. In fact, this campaign is built around individuals telling others about this important message – because we want the word to spread and get all Americans to talk to a healthcare professional about their weight and health.

 

We have made it easy for you to help us in promoting this important campaign! Maybe you are an individual that wants to share this campaign with a loved one, or perhaps you are a healthcare professional and you want to tell fellow colleagues or your facility about this effort. No matter what, we want you to help us spread the word, and get as many individuals to sign-on as possible. And the best part - we’ve provided all the resources you will need!

Banner Ads

Banner advertisements are a great way to promote an effort or campaign. Think about any Web sites you go to and if they accept banner ads. Many times, companies will place banner ads for free if connected to a charity or health awareness cause. We have provided a sample banner ad that may be customized to any specification. Contact the OAC if you have a Web site that can host a banner ad and we would be happy to customize one for that site.
