Kids Heart Challenge & American Heart Challenge

Schools across the country are developing happy and healthy students prepared to physically and emotionally conquer the world.

About the Challenge

For nearly 50 years, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ has been partnering with educators in elementary, middle and high schools across the nation to help educate students about healthy living.

The Kids Heart Challenge and American Heart Challenge are service-learning based fundraising programs that give students the opportunity to feel good, while doing good. It’s a way for students to better their life — all while changing someone else’s.

Students, families and staff will also learn valuable life skills, including how to make smart food choices, the importance of avoiding vaping/tobacco and the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR.
