“Don’t Let Pain Become a Killer.”

The following information was submitted by the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association:

“Dear PIAA Member Athletic Directors,
The PIAA has once again teamed up with the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General to fight opioid abuse.  As part of the 2024 “Don’t Let Pain Become a Killer” campaign we would like to encourage your TV production studios and students to create a public service announcement (PSA) that raises awareness of opioid abuse in our communities as part of a contest. The winning spots will be played during the 2024- 2025 statewide telecasts of selected PIAA Championship broadcasts on the Pennsylvania Cable Network (PCN) and on the videoboards in our championship venues.  In addition, two cash prizes will be awarded to the chosen schools to be used as they see fit to enhance their TV production departments.
Entry information and contest rules as well as marketing collateral for the students to use in the spots if they wish can be found by clicking here.

Please feel free to contact myself or Mark Byers, PIAA COO at [email protected] with any questions.

Thank you for your consideration,Jason JesbergerPresident of MarketingMarket Street Sports Group[email protected]

About the Contributor
Mackenzie Hall
Mackenzie Hall, Student Writer
My name is Mackenzie Hall, I am currently a senior at Greater Nanticoke Area High School, and this is my first year in journalism. Throughout my high school career, I have been a part of the National Honors Society, World Language Honors Society, and Student Council, have competed in Pennsylvania’s Junior Academy of Science three times and started a nonprofit called the Wizards of Wonder through the Junior Leadership program. Currently, I am Student Council President and am balancing four AP classes with my various other responsibilities at school and home along with my personal relations.  I would have to say that some of my greatest passions lie in literature, whether that involves reading a classic novel or writing poetry. I also spend my time cooking new recipes, painting with oil pastels, and making good memories with those that I love. I enjoy topics such as gender studies, political science, and psychology; however, I have always had a great love for the STEM field as well, and have worked to ensure that my time in school engages that interest.  I am in the process of applying to college through the QuestBridge program with intentions of majoring in Biology with a possible minor in Neuroscience or Psychology. I aspire to become a Pediatric Neurosurgeon, though with a mind that appreciates many possibilities, I could see myself pursuing a career related to law or global affairs. No matter what happens, I highly look forward to seeing how my future plays out.
