CHQ Kids Care is proudly partnered with Chautauqua County Health Department to promote radon awareness through hands-on education and a student poster contest.

Throughout the program, students learned about radon, a naturally occurring, invisible gas that can enter homes and buildings and why testing is important for keeping families safe. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, making education and prevention critical steps in protecting community health.

To showcase their learning, students created powerful, creative posters encouraging families to test their homes for radon. The contest highlighted not only artistic talent, but also students’ growing understanding of environmental health and safety.

We are excited to announce that the poster contest winners have been selected! Winning students were recognized for their creativity, clarity of message, and commitment to spreading awareness about radon safety. 2026 Radon Poster Contest Winners received prizes  from Chautauqua County Health Department and Northwest Savings Bank Ice Arena. 

Together, we are empowering young leaders to protect their homes, schools, and community. Thank you for supporting learning in action for our community!
