American Heart Association

The American Heart Association’s Kids Heart Challenge & American Heart Challenge focus on students’ physical, social, and emotional well-being. For nearly 50 years, the American Heart Association has been partnering with educators in elementary, middle and high schools across the nation to help educate students about healthy living, in both body and mind.

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 lives while changing someone else’s.

Schools interested in participating in the Kids Heart Challenge/American Heart Challenge can register for the upcoming school year and receive expanded curriculum resources.
