This Throwdown isn't about replacing what HealthCorps already does — it's about turning the work mentors and teens are already doing into a coast-to-coast scoreboard your Board, BCBSAZ, and Banner can actually see. Open the Clipboard any time — I'm in there with you the whole way.

The Stakes

What's actually being fought for.

Regional pride, real team scores, and a coast-to-coast story that funders can finally see.

The Coast-to-Coast Throwdown takes HealthCorps' four-state on-the-ground footprint and turns it into a friendly, public, gamified Reality Health Games™ competition. Every wellness activity a HealthCorps Group Leader logs — a Bingo card session, a community walk, a garden project, a Spring into Health listening session — earns points for their state, which roll up into their regional team total.

At kickoff Fall 2026, the live leaderboard goes public. Team West (AZ + CA) and Team East (OH + PA) trade rankings week by week. Teens see their state climb. Mentors see their region. Donors and funders see HealthCorps' impact narrated as a national story — not a stack of disconnected program reports.

And — exactly as we promised: we are NOT asking HealthCorps Group Leaders to set down their curriculum and pick up ours. The Throwdown is a reporting and scoring layer sitting on top of the work your mentors already do — a mechanism to submit your Reality Health Game projects to the Network so they earn team scores, generate impact ripples, and unlock mentoring.
Meet the Teams

Two coasts. Four states. Group Leaders recruiting now.

Each state needs Group Leaders signed up before kickoff. The more Group Leaders a state stands up, the bigger its weekly point ceiling — and the louder its voice in the regional total.

The Group Leader Challenge · How It Works

Four steps. None of them ask you to change your curriculum.

1

Register Your Group

One-click signup. Pick your state — AZ, CA, OH, or PA — and you're competing for your regional team.

2

Keep Doing What You Do

Bingo card sessions, community walks, garden builds, school health projects — whatever you already run, log it. Each activity earns RHG points.

3

Earn Coins & Badges

Your group earns LEARN It, LIVE It, and SHARE It Coins. Streaks unlock badges. Top scorers get spotlighted on the regional dashboard.

4

Climb the Team Score

Every point you bank rolls up to your state, and your state rolls up to West or East. The Fall Throwdown scoreboard is the public stage.

Rewards & Recognition

Real coins. Real badges. Real spotlight.

FFH coins aren't decorative — they roll up to the Network leaderboard, unlock badges, and surface top groups for mentoring + Omni-Media features.

LEARN It Coin +10 each

LEARN It Coins

Earned when your group consumes a lesson, scores a track in the Listening Lab, or completes a Bingo prompt.

LIVE It Coin +25 each

LIVE It Coins

Earned when your group DOES the thing — community walk, garden build, farmers-market visit, school health project.

SHARE It Coin +50 each

SHARE It Coins

Earned when your group publishes their work — Composer songs, sims, PSAs, or recap stories that travel beyond the classroom.

Become a HealthCorps Group Leader.
