Hydrate for 28 is an epic 28-day wellness challenge for Key Club students to help raise awareness of the water crisis while highlighting the importance of staying hydrated. This campaign is designed for individual Key Club members to focus on their mental and physical health while learning about global causes, with an opportunity to take action too.

WHY HYDRATE FOR 28 

2020 was rough. So we built a campaign where Key Club members could focus on their health and wellness while also helping Thirst Project end the water crisis. 

Drinking water contributes to overall health, and Thirst Project wants Key Club members to commit to putting their health first. 

ANY Key Club member who completes this campaign and drinks 64 ounces of water each day in February will be entered in a drawing to win a free Zoom session with our campaign champion, Dexter Darden.
