| Special Radon Messages |
As you conduct radon outreach throughout the year, consider incorporating messages to test for radon, fix radon problems, and build radon resistant homes with other environmental health messages and special events. The following are some examples of seasonal messages you can use at different times of the year:
- February – Protect Your Loved Ones. Test for Radon. (Valentine’s Day)
- April – Don’t Be Foolish. Test Your Home for Radon. (April Fool's Day)
- May/August – Breathe With Ease. Fix Your Home By Reducing Radon Gas. (Clean Air Month)
- June – Living Green is Healthier. Build Radon-Resistant Homes. (Home Safety Month)
- October – Protect Your Children From Radon. Test Your Home. (Children’s Health Month)
- November – Radon is the Leading Cause of Lung Cancer Among Non-Smokers. (Lung Cancer Awareness Month)
- December – Give the Gift of Health. Protect Loved Ones by Reducing Radon in Your Home. (Holiday Season)

The winning entry in the Radon Video Contest, titled “Eddie’s Story,” was submitted by Benjamin Schultz and Michael Gentilini. The Video Contest winners will be honored at the January 28th Awards Ceremony in Washington, DC. See the winning, “Eddie’s Story,” which you can add to your Web site or blog.
