This year, Collierville High School is proudly introducing a new School Board and an Outreach Board. Our core mission is to significantly expand our reach and positive impact throughout the community, including our newest chapter at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, where Hands 2 Hearts is growing its presence and empowering college students to join our mission of heart‑centered service.
The School Board: Promoting Heart Health in Our Schools
Our School Board plays a critical role in spreading heart‑health awareness and support throughout our educational community. They ensure our club aligns with the needs of students and schools, fostering an environment where young hearts can thrive.
- The School Board empowers students and schools to take an active role in supporting the Hands 2 Hearts mission through inspiring initiatives like Go Jim Go efforts, bake sales, supply drives, and engaging fundraising events.
- They work to promote educational initiatives focused on heart‑health awareness, supported by our blog, which provides valuable resources for students, families, and educators.
- They collaborate with school administrators, teachers, and parent organizations to build lasting relationships and establish trust within the school community.
The Outreach Board: Building Bridges in Our Community
Our Outreach Board is dedicated to expanding Hands 2 Hearts’ reach and fostering vital community partnerships. They connect individuals, organizations, and businesses who share our vision, empowering us to create a stronger and healthier community.
- The Outreach Board builds bridges to the broader community, ensuring our message reaches diverse audiences and inspires meaningful action.
- They actively seek and cultivate partnerships with like‑minded organizations, local businesses, and community leaders, strengthening our impact and broadening our efforts.
- Through their dedication, the Outreach Board plays a key role in raising awareness for children’s heart health, attracting volunteers, and securing the resources needed to support our mission for the 2025–2026 management period. All proceeds are either reinvested into fundraising efforts or sent directly to Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital.
Expanding Beyond Collierville: Our Growth at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville
This year marks a major milestone for Hands 2 Hearts as we expand our mission to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Our UTK chapter is already building momentum by engaging college students, hosting service‑driven events, and strengthening our commitment to heart‑health advocacy on a larger scale. This expansion allows us to extend our impact beyond high school and empower young adults to champion children’s heart health within their campus and the broader Knoxville community.
Together, our School Board, Outreach Board, and new UTK chapter embody the spirit of Hands 2 Hearts. Their collaborative efforts and unwavering commitment are what allow us to make a lasting and meaningful difference in the lives of children and families facing heart ailments. We are incredibly grateful for their dedication and for the vital support of our entire community.
