Our new student-produced PSA is set to air on Buckeye! Special thanks to our sponsors: ProMedica, Buckeye CableSystem, Allied Media, and Ad Club of Toledo, for their support of this effort. Phil Mariasy of Allied Media did a great job of bringing the students’ ideas to life on film.
The winners of the contest included Clay High School students Molly Kissling, Kelli Patay, and Adam Mihalko. These three chose to focus on the dangerous consequences of underage drinking in their PSA entitled “Consider This.” The PSAs will air on Buckeye on E!, Comedy Central, BCSN and ABC Family over the next month.
Congrats to the PSA winners! They did a fabulous job.
