EIght Wellness Challenges Fundraiser
$2,705Raised of $50,000
Our Mission
Many teens struggle with depression, anxiety, ADHD and addictions, causing emotional distress for themselves and people in their life. Identifying that we all struggle in different ways and knowing how to maneuver through life challenges is what ultimately creates a positive change.
Ben's Challenge will empower all students to take 100% responsibility for their choices, encourage team spirit and collaboration as a school community and provide a powerful tool set to increase self-esteem & emotional resiliency.
How Ben's Challenge Works
Ben Speaks will be communicating to you every morning in your homeroom class via email to check in and provide you with your challenge for the day.
To raise funds, you will be encouraged to ask all the adults in your life to sponsor you to successfully complete the eight wellness challenges over the course of the next four weeks. If you know a local business, ask them too. Lot's of businesses in your community have already made contributions. They love to help. Please encourage each adult to give what they can to support your success. Every dollar counts. This app makes it easy. If you have any questions or concerns, ask your teacher or reach out to us at info@benspeaks.org
You will be asked to engage through this app each day in your homeroom to share your stories and successes and highlight your creativity in achieving each daily challenge. i.e. uploading a picture of something you are grateful for or a written word of your experience. Don't worry, we will tell you what we are asking you to post. There will be lots of opportunities to earn special prizes.
This is a private community and only accessible to those participating. Anyone who you receive donations from will also receive your posts. They will love to see your progress.
Thank you for your enthusiasm and participation in this challenge.
