Kids sign up for the first Iron Kids Games last month at Jacksonville Beach.
The games, for kids ages 10-17, was one of the projects funded by money from the state tobacco settlement. Participants had to sign a pledge not to use tobacco. It's a message youngsters have been hearing thanks to money from the state's huge tobacco settlement. A community partnership of teens and adults decides how the money is spent in each county. Organizers went to schools, a day camp program at the YMCA and Adventure Landing to show kids the effects of smoking on the body.
