Benicia High School’s Friday Night Live student club has been named as the recipient of the Tobacco Free Solano Coalition’s annual Alvina Sheeley Memorial Advocate Award, according to a press release.

The award was presented at the coalition’s annual luncheon meeting Jan. 22 by the mayor of Benicia, Elizabeth Patterson. The student club along with their community partners were recognized for their efforts to encourage and support new tobacco ordinances that not only ban smoking in public places including multiple-unit housing, but also ban the sale of flavored products within Benicia.
