Schools
Get students, teachers and staff involved in The Push-Up Challenge to level up physical and mental fitness in your school community.
Sign your school up for Canada's largest mental health-based fitness event
The Push-Up Challenge is a unique and fun way for schools to foster better mental health and wellbeing through physical activity, connection and bite-sized mental health facts.
Prioritizing the mental and physical health of your students and teachers could be one of the best things you'll do for your school in 2025.
The Challenge
You and your Team/ Community will be challenged to complete 2,000 push-ups over 18 days. This represents the ~2,000 lives lost to suicide each day, worldwide.
We know - that's a lot of push-ups. But don't panic, any exercise goes, plus you can aim for 50% of the push-up target instead.
