The Advance: B1 Campaign
B1 is a 24-hour food-fasting event for youth, which raises money to empower the poor and disempower unjust systems sustaining poverty in our world. B1 connects youth to the issues facing our impoverished sisters and brothers around the world, and the ways The United Methodist Church can help eradicate poverty through The Advance.
Free resources available through cokesbury.com include:
B1 Posters: The set of three 13"x19" posters is provided to aid youth groups in advertising their B1 fasting event.(#528250)
B1 Student Handbook/Envelope: The student handbook and envelope are available for each youth participating in B1. The envelope holds the student handbook, and provides a space for youth to collect and keep track of donations. The student handbook is a small booklet containing information about B1, poverty, and the Advance projects highlighted for B1 2009.(#528238)
