Participate in a Service Project – The IHSAA is partnering with the Indiana Sports Corporation in order to donate gently used athletic equipment to underprivileged students in communities around the state.  The equipment is distributed FREE to not-for-profit youth-serving organizations in central Indiana in an effort to make sports more accessible to underserved youth. Through the IHSAA Leadership conference schools will have the opportunity to participate in this program to help get serviceable sports equipment to kids who need it, while competing for exciting prizes.  The items donated from each school will be weighed and the winners will be determined by the greatest total weight of items.  First prize will be four tickets to an Indianapolis Colts game, and second prize will be four tickets to the Big Ten’s Women’s Basketball Tournament.
