“I Banter” 30 Day Challenge
The “I Banter” 30 Day Challenge is an opportunity for you to implement self-care practices into your life and connect with your community, while garnering support for Body Banter! You will have 30 days to complete 10 self-care activities and obtain sponsors to cheer you on during this challenge. Grab a friend and participate in the challenge together for some friendly competition!
The funds raised from your sponsors will be donated to Body Banter in order to build our capacity to empower voices in conversations about body image and mental health by covering the costs of our workshops and talks, youth advocate projects, Conversation Communities and educational resources.
Challenge yourself to care for your mind and body, while giving back to your community.
