    Let’s Build Stronger Schools — and Stronger Hearts

    health. moves. minds.®, powered by Booster is more than just another fundraiser — it’s a whole-school experience designed to inspire kindness, build stronger communities, and support student wellness.

    For the 2025-2026 school year, our new theme, Strength in Kindness, empowers students to grow their kindness muscles through movement, teamwork and social emotional learning. Just like physical muscles, kindness gets stronger with practice — and this program helps make that growth a fun, meaningful part of your school culture. As we like to say, it’s where character meets community.

    Why Schools Love It:

    • Teaches critical life skills like kindness, respect, philanthropy and advocacy
    • Promotes physical activity and wellness through physical education, classroom integration and exciting events
    • Strengthens social emotional learning with engaging, ready-to-use activities and six fun, themed videos
    • Fosters collaboration, empathy and a sense of belonging across your school community
    • Raises meaningful funds with no upfront costs and full support every step of the way

     

    What Your School Gets:

    • Keep 50% of what you raise — in cash
    • PE teachers earn an additional 5% in Gopher gift cards
    • Earn a $250 bonus match from Booster (added to your Gopher gift card)
    • All materials included — low prep, high impact
    • Full flexibility to fit your schedule and goals

     

    Let’s build stronger schools — and stronger hearts —through a fundraiser that puts students well-being first.

    Registration is now open for the 2025-2025 school year.
