KHC is a tradition at BHE where students learn how and why they need to take care of their hearts. Families will also have the opportunity to help others by raising awareness and funds for the American Heart Association when they complete Finn's Mission!

Download the Kids Heart Challenge app or visit our school page at heart.org/schools to sign-up! Be sure to join Finn's Mission – this will be our map along the way! Any student who raises $250 will get to SLIME Coach Turner.

Students that complete the Finn’s Mission will earn an entry for two tickets to Super Bowl LIX in 2027 and BHE will be entered to receive a $10,000 fitness equipment makeover for every 18 completed Finn’s Mission.
