Eli Kruse, Woodstock, IL, Little League
Eli Kruse, a 12-year-old Little League Baseball player from Woodstock, IL, is this year’s NSTEP slogan contest winner. His slogan, “Be a hitter, not a spitter–don’t use tobacco,” sends a clear message that tobacco has no place in the ballpark. OHA is at the Little League World Series this week, August 20-29, in Williamsport, PA, where we provide oral health and tobacco education to up to 325,000 Little League players and their families.
