The Do Gooder Challenge is a 30‑day, high‑impact service and leadership experience that lets your organization show what happens when, whenever you’re able, you choose to do good for people who need help instead of looking away.
Most service projects look good in photos and disappear after the semester. Meanwhile, kids in Texas children’s hospitals are facing real medical battles and long stretches of isolation and discouragement.
Every time we see that kind of need, we’re in a moment of choice: walk past it, or—when we’re able—do good for people who need help.
The Do Gooder Challenge is a focused 30‑day campaign where your organization becomes part of the Squad—the collaboration of groups that connect everyday do gooders with kids who are in the middle of one of the hardest stretches of their story.
Instead of another event, this is a month where your team practices a simple principle: when you’re able, you do good for people who clearly need help - in this instance, kids and their families facing medical challenges.
An anonymous sponsor has one goal: use their resources to fuel teams who refuse to look away from vulnerable kids.
For your organization, that means:
- Every encouragement you help provide earns your group points.
- Every point translates into sponsorship dollars for your organization.
You’re being rewarded for showing up where it actually counts—and for proving what happens when a student organization chooses to do good instead of walking past.
(Details about what this looks like in the Zoom info session. Sign up below.)
Over March 30–April 30, your Squad will:
- Invite friends, families, alumni, and community partners to become Encouragers.
- Use simple outreach tools and scripts to help them choose their level (1, 10, or 100 kids).
- Track your progress on a daily leaderboard as you see how many kids your organization is standing beside.
Every “yes” sends a message to a child: “Someone saw you. Someone stopped for you.”
Each “yes” also funds an encouragement package that will later be delivered to a child and family who genuinely need encouragement in a dark and difficult moment.
This is a real‑world leadership and impact lab:
Service with visible outcomes – know exactly how many kids your organization helped through funded encouragement packages.
Project management experience – plan and execute a 30‑day campaign with real metrics.
Communication and fundraising skills – invite others into a cause in a clear, confident way.
Recognition and competition – compete for Grand Champion, Speed Champion, and Platinum Champion Squad awards.
You’ll also receive language you can use for resumes and applications describing your team’s role and results—showing that when your organization was able to help, you actually did.
