Fuel HEAF’s tuition‑free college access and success programs and celebrate the incredible students of the Class of 2026.

Become a 26 Challenge Team Captain

The 26 Challenge is HEAF’s annual peer‑to‑peer fundraising campaign where our community comes together to support students on their journey to and through college. This year, we’re honoring the Class of 2026—students who have grown with HEAF from middle school through high school and are preparing for the next chapter.

What Team Captains Do
Team Captains are the heart of this campaign. Captains:

  • Make an initial $26 gift
  • Create a personal fundraising page
  • Invite friends and family to join their challenge
  • Share updates and celebrate progress

Choose Your Challenge

  • 2–6 Challenge → Give $26 and ask 2–6 friends to do the same
  • Full 26 Challenge → Give $26 and ask 26 friends for $26
  • Your Own Goal → Set the number that feels right for you

Why It Matters

Every $26 fuels HEAF’s tuition‑free college access and success programs—tutoring, advising, enrichment, college readiness, and the long‑term support our students rely on.
