The founding students who started CHAMP in 2015

Ten years ago, seven Huntingdon County students had an idea that would change their community forever.

The Beginning

In 2015, inspired by the desire to help local families facing cancer, these students launched what would become CHAMP. What started as a small effort has grown into a countywide movement.

The Spectacular 7

These seven founding students laid the foundation for everything CHAMP has become:

  • They organized the first dance marathon
  • They created the framework for student leadership
  • They built connections with local hospitals and organizations
  • They showed that young people can make a real difference
  • Growth Over the Years

    The Legacy Continues

    Today, six schools participate in CHAMP. Over 5,000 students have been part of this movement. And the original vision—helping neighbors in their toughest moments—remains at the heart of everything we do.
