More 400 ad designs were submitted for this year’s AIM For Awareness Ad Contest — our biggest ever — and with help from the Carmel Sunset Rotary Club we displayed them all on Thursday, Oct. 24th at the Sunset Cultural Center.

A crowd of students, parents, teachers, elected officials, healthcare professionals, and others were there to enjoy and appreciate the work. (Pictured: Last year’s winner Skylar Jackson came to award this year’s winners.)
