The challenge opens August 1st, and centers have until September 25th to complete the challenge. The challenge winners will be announced via social media and notified via email by the end of the day, Wednesday October 2nd.
Prize
Two sites will be randomly selected from those who shared a bingo on social media, and will be awarded $500 to help fund healthy habits or a healthy initiative at their early care center. The winning sites will be required to share a project update within one year of the funds being awarded, showcasing how the prize money was utilized. All centers who completed a blackout will be given a free 5-2-1-0 swag bundle!
