Donna Golob, Executive Director of A Positive Approach to Teen Health (PATH), together with PATH, was awarded the North Star Partner Award in recognition of particular person and organizational efforts to advertise a smoke free life-style for their staff, purchasers and neighborhood.

“While we have many amazing volunteers and partner organization members on the TEPCPC, these seven members went above and beyond this past year. Without each and every coalition member, we would not be able to provide resources and education to improve the health of Porter County citizens. We are so thankful to each and every one of them.” Said Carrie Higgins, Program Director for the Tobacco Education and Prevention Coalition.
