problem Gambling Awareness Calendar

The 2017 Problem Gambling Awareness Calendar
features young Oregonians views on problem
gambling expressed through art. State, county and
tribal agencies as well as middle school teachers
and students work together to create this calendar.

2.17

Each year, as part of National Problem Gambling

Awareness Month, middle school students
create messages and images that convey the
risk of developing a gambling disorder. Students
from across the state submit art and a panel of
judges select the artwork that appears in this
calendar. If you would like more information
about participating in the annual art search, please
contact Roxann Jones at roxann.r.jones@state.or.us.
