The American Legacy Foundation Applauds Chad Bullock for Teen Choice Award Win  

The American Legacy Foundation applauds Chad Bullock for his win at the 10th annual Teen Choice Award ceremony. Bullock took home the "Do Something Award," along with $100,000. Bullock's passion and diligence around tobacco control began as a small child living in Durham, North Carolina, being raised around tall tobacco warehouses, and seeing cigarette ads on a daily basis. It was around this time when he lost his great-grandfather from lung cancer. The unfortunate event served as the catalyst for his role in tobacco control.

The American Legacy Foundation is honored to have Bullock as a member of its Youth Activism Council (YAC). The group of college-age leaders represents diverse communities and youth activism organizations. YAC serves as internal advisors to the Foundation, and the members work as passionate tobacco control advocates in their communities. Bullock was chosen from a competitive field of nominees and will continue to help Legacy creatively and effectively convey the health risks of using tobacco products to young people, as well as help provide training and resources to other organizations working in public health.
