Virginia Pushes for Healthier Drink Choices with Rev Your Bev

Share On Social!

On May 15, 2013, youth activists, teachers, and health advocates across Virginia came together to change the way the community thinks about drinks.

Rev Your Bev Day events focused on collecting information on what Virginians think about sugary drinks and what they know about their health effects. Anyone who hosts a Rev Your Bev Day event had the unique opportunity to work on this statewide data collection project by collecting quick and easy Rev Your Bev Day surveys at their event. Event organizers mailed the completed surveys back to Rev Your Bev headquarters free of charge. Survey results will be analyzed and released in Fall 2013. This is a great, hands-on way for Virginians to advocate for healthier drinks in their state.

The event was sponsored by Y St., the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth’s (VFHY) award-winning teen volunteer initiative for high school students. See what they are up to on Facebook!
