Candy Giveaway


Who wants candy? Yeah, everyone wants candy. No one wants Big Tobacco’s lies. Attach anti-tobacco industry messages to your candy and give it away. Candy canes at Christmas. Easter eggs at Easter. Dixie cups for May Day. Green apple-flavored Jolly Ranchers on St. Patty’s Day. Popsicles on the 4th of July. You get the picture. Or hand out pieces of gum that have an anti-tobacco industry fact to chew on. Take off the paper wrapper (not the foil wrapper) and replace it with a No Limits wrapper covered with facts.

Time:

First Meeting:
Determine your message, location, date, and how much candy you will need. Have volunteers to buy candy, design the messages, and print them out.

Second Meeting:
Create your message, attach it to your candy, and hand it out. Allow for plenty of time or plenty of help to attach your message to the candy.

Planning:

  • Get permission to hand out the candy if necessary.
  • Let your local media and No Limits know about your event ahead of time.

Words of Wisdom:

  • Have a simple message that you can put on a small piece of paper. Small labels are a great way to make your message stick. Just keep the message brief.
  • It’s easy to go over your budget.  Plan ahead. Limit the group size or purchase different candy to stay within your budget.
  • Get a variety of candy and give it away to more than just your friends.
  • Wear No Limits shirts, hang up your banner, or make a sign so people recognize you.
