North Oakland Community Coalition (NOCC), representing Lake Orion and Oxford announces the receipt of a Health Plus 2009 Rainmaker Grant in the amount of $3,200. NOCC was formed two years ago to promote a sense of belonging in a healthy environment free of alcohol and substance abuse by uniting community members and developing community strengths for all.
The Coalition’s ‘Moving Up Healthy? five minute infomercial project for transitioning fifth and eighth grade Lake Orion School District students and their parents, grandparents and guardians about the culture and abuse of prescription drugs is to be produced with the assistance of the Lake Orion High School Broadcast/Video class.
Health Plus, a Genesee County based health insurance company, will host an awards ceremony in September to distribute the grant money.
The next NOCC Fund Development Committee meeting will be at 7 pm on September 15. Contact the Coalition at 248-520-3786 or visit www.northoaklandcoalition.org for more information about upcoming meetings, events and ways to become involved.
