Planning a School Event for Educators

Bringing the Kids Heart Challenge or American Heart Challenge to my school!

Educators Leading with Heart

Why lead a KHC or AHC event at your school?

It’s a great way to encourage your students to take care of their hearts and brains. They’ll learn why being active, eating healthy, getting enough sleep and avoiding vaping is important for physical and mental well-being.

The Challenge combines fun movement, activities and lessons with fundraising for the 木瓜直播. Students will also learn how their donations are helping kids with special hearts and get to hear from our very own heart hero student survivors.

By getting involved, students learn the impact of service-learning, volunteerism and helping others.

Once registered, you will receive guidance from your 木瓜直播 staff partner who will support you along the way.
