Racing for Wellness Sign Up
Racing for Wellness (R4W) is our signature student leadership and fundraising program. Through R4W, high school students take the lead in raising funds for the TMHS Wellness Fund, which directly pays for mental health care for students across the Houston area. The program turns student initiative, creativity, and community connection into real, lasting impact. Join the 10-week challenge to learn to be a leader and be an important piece in creating access to transformative care.
Program In Depth
Throughout the program, students work in teams to raise funds for the TMHS Wellness Fund, which directly provides mental health care for students across the Houston area. Every dollar raised helps remove financial barriers so students can access the support they need. But Racing for Wellness is about much more than fundraising.
Participants gain hands-on leadership experience by planning campaigns, connecting with businesses and donors, organizing events, advocating for mental health initiatives, and developing communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. We also introduce students to mental health advocacy and policy, helping them become informed leaders who can create lasting change in their schools and communities.
One of the most rewarding parts of the program is watching students grow. Many participants begin with little or no experience in fundraising, public speaking, event planning, or advocacy. By the end of the 10 weeks, they've built confidence, discovered new strengths, and accomplished things they never thought possible.
