What is A Better Place Project?
• The Purpose of the BPP is to make a difference in our community
• Because we have specific fields we study in, our BPP wanted to reflect our major and interest

Brainstorming
As a group, we had discussed volunteering in the Relay for Life event at UC.
What better venue to do our BPP than an event that stressed giving to a common goal?

Still Rainin’ Ideas…
We signed up as a group to have a booth where the members of our LC would get pied in the face.
We wanted to turn our booth into something that not only earned money for the Relay for Life cause, but also make it a physical way to immediately impact our peers.

Everyone Likes Candy!
• We thought of a delicious idea to make knowledge available for everyone.
• With every purchase at our booth, a small candy would be handed out with a health fact attached

These Health Facts were meant to no only encourage healthy lifestyle choices, but to debunk
certain myths that persist in the health field

“The Better Place Project had multiple minor objectives, such as aid in the attraction of people to our booth…. but the major reason was to provide information to the public about personal health”
“This benefits our community
because it is our role as students
going into the medical field to
keep our citizens and peers aware
of the health risk that are at
hand.”
“…its’ an easy way to bring community awareness about the things they should avoid and the things that can help their health.”

Why It Matters
• We realized that even though this was a rather simple and small step towards better health every little bit helps, even on a global scene.

Why it Matters
• As Health Professions, we realize the responsibility to help those in our community
• This dedication to helping in our community can translate to helping not just within our own communities but translating it into results on a global scale

It doesn’t hurt that we had some fun while we did it either…
with the appropriate health facts of course!
