Think your high school is up for the challenge?

We do!

Here are some ideas to get you started.

Athletic Game.

What better way to show your school spirit than by rooting for the home team while fundraising for a great cause? Consider selling tickets for a game against your school rival and host a concession stand where all proceeds go to Roswell Park. You can also host a separate marathon event, like a run-a-thon, to encourage a friendly competition. Track minutes run in the Good Move app, earn points and see who can take the top of the leaderboard!
