How It Works....

Kids Heart Challenge events are conducted in school by physical education instructors, coaches or teachers. They can be scheduled whenever it's most convenient-during physical education class, lunch or before or after school. Once you register, you'll receive an event kit with everything you need to conduct a successful Kids Heart Challenge event:

1. Step-by-step instructions on scheduling, promoting and conducting the event.
2. Heart-healthy curriculum to support heart awareness with the event.
3. Tips for fund raising. Participants ask friends and family for donations. Our online tool makes raising money even easier!
4. Training and support from an experienced American Heart Association staff person or volunteer.

With your support, we can help protect and improve children's health!
