The McDonald's High School Challenge

High school students: when you register for the Race this year, be sure and answer the question about your high school name. When you fill in your high school name, your registration will count toward the McDonald's High School Challenge.

The school with the highest percentage of student body registration and the high school with the greatest impact (registration dollars + fundraising) in the fight against breast cancer will both win $1,000 from McDonald's!

It is not necessary to join a specific high school's team, it's only necessary to complete the high school name box when you register. It's easy, so tell your friends!
