what is the sweat makes cents challenge?
SWEAT MAKES CENTS is our annual fundraiser and childhood obesity awareness campaign. Each year, participants complete 100 jumping jacks, post a short video of themselves in action on social media with a *signature song as the soundtrack, make a $0.10 donation for every jumping jack they complete and challenge friends, family, and followers to do the same. For example, a participant's 100 jumping jacks will raise $10 (tax-deductible) for our charity! SWEAT MAKES CENTS uses the money to fund childhood obesity prevention programs nationwide, train female health leaders on college campuses, and award student scholarships. Watch the video below to see how supporters GET FIT + GIVE BACK!
