MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), a potentially life-threatening antibiotic resistant Staph infection continues to increase in community settings, like schools, gyms, and even your home. It is more important than ever to educate ourselves about practical ways to help reduce the spread of the infection. That's why Grant Hill, a MRSA survivor and member of the STOP MRSA Now coalition along with the North American Booster Club Association (NABCA) are launching the national "Bleacher Brigade" challenge to get communities and individuals active in helping to prevent the spread of MRSA.


The cool part is that you can help and even WIN! Join the Bleacher Brigade challenge for a chance to win one of three $500 gift cards and Bleacher Brigade prize packs! For more info, visit the Bleacher Brigade.

On the site you can find:

* Ways to participate in the challenge -- things like hanging prevention posters and holding MRSA information sessions with local sports teams or community groups;
* Free STOP MRSA Now downloadable prevention Playbook , fact sheet, links, and a badge for Web sites;
* Grant Hill’s PSA, which shares his personal experience with MRSA and other MRSA survivor stories;
* MRSA prevention tips; and
* Bleacher Brigade submission form and full contest rules.
