Save Lives: Help Us Tell Kids the truth®

In the last ten years, truth®,  Legacy’s youth anti-smoking  campaign, has kept more than 450,000 kids from smoking, and saved thousands from cancer and other diseases caused by tobacco.

WATCH:  Watch “Singing Cowboy”– the truth video that our supporters recently chose as their favorite – and see how we’re getting the word out to kids.

DONATE:  truth® depends on you. Without your generous support, this critical public health program could go off the airwaves – leaving hundreds of thousands of children at risk of addiction to cigarettes, and vulnerable to illnesses caused by tobacco.

About truth®
Nearly 90% of smokers begin as preteens or teenagers, and trying just a few cigarettes is enough for a child to become addicted for life.

That’s why the truth® campaign works to stop addiction before it starts.  At the movies, online and wherever kids go, truth® makes a direct connection with kids and helps keep them from starting to smoke.

truth® Works
The truth® campaign is proven to work – and it’s been an extraordinary success.  The American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that in its first four years alone, truth® was directly responsible for keeping 450,000 children from starting to smoke.
