How Your Team Helps
Your team spends 15 minutes filming and posting a response to a weekly prompt for 4 weeks to help raise funds and awareness for children with Down syndrome in Puerto Rico.
- Schools
- Sports teams
- Workplaces
- Families
- Faith & community groups
Make it Fun!
Each week will have an exercise prompt inspired by an exercise done by students with Down syndrome. Then, you make it your own! For example, instead of doing chair supported squats, your team could see who on the team can do the most squats while balancing a cup of water on their head.
The Challenge
Watch
Starting October 5th, watch a weekly prompt inspired by an exercise with students with Down syndrome.
Record

Small Moments, More Reasons to Give
What is an Angel Moment?
An Angel Moment is an achievement, an act of kindness, or a moment of teamwork worth celebrating. Score a goal. Encourage a teammate. Help someone out.
When the campaign begins, capture your moment and upload it to the team portal or share it on Instagram with #AngelMoment.
Moments from our community
Wear your wings.
Cross your thumbs and spread your fingers, palms facing out. That’s your Angel Wings gesture. Sitting or standing, make it your own and open or close your challenge together.
