High School Challenge Combines Organ Donation Advocacy with Power Moves of Strength and Health

Teachers and students are encouraged to sign up to win cash prizes for their clubs and teams

This October, high school students across Kentucky are invited to participate in an innovative Donate Life challenge.  The Donate Life High School Challenge aims to engage young minds in a meaningful cause while promoting physical and mental well-being.

The High School Challenge offers a unique opportunity for students from all backgrounds to get involved and create a significant impact in the mission of organ, tissue, and eye donation. Whether part of a sports team, FBLA club, HOSA chapter, or any other high school organization, everyone can participate in activities that promote both personal health and community engagement.

Participants can earn points by creating various activities, community outreach initiatives, and innovative projects to promote the Donate Life mission throughout the month of October. These points will not only contribute towards their team’s overall standing but also towards winning exciting prizes.

Key Dates and Details:

Registration Deadline: September 13, 2024

Mandatory Training: September 19, 2024 (Q&A session for at least one representative)

Challenge Duration: October 1 – October 31, 2024

"Teachers and students alike have a unique opportunity through the Donate Life High School Challenge to not only showcase their strength and health but also to make a lasting impact in their communities by advocating for organ donation.
