We are extremely proud to sponsor the Iowa Hall of Pride Challenge. The Pride Challenge is a statewide community service initiative that challenges middle and high school students to participate in service projects. Each school chose a community service project that was meaningful to their community. The Pride Challenge initiative provides opportunities for Iowa students to have a positive impact in their communities through a community service component, while also providing educational experiences for all involved
Each of the top five schools received $500 for their student government programs and the top service winner, Mason City, received $1000. The five service award winners, and their area of service, are as follows:
- Mason City – Crisis Intervention Services Social Media Campaign - No More
- Graettinger-Terril/Ruthven-Ayrshire – Supporting Our Local Food Banks & Families in Need
- Spirit Lake – Northwest Iowa Humane Society
- Griswold – Shooting for the Cure - A Fight Against Breast Cancer
- Wapsie Valley, Fairbank – Ballin for the Brave
