ARCS Foundation Chapters Recognized in Annual Chapter Challenge
Each year, all fifteen regional chapters of ARCS Foundation are invited to participate in the annual Chapter Challenge, a friendly competition that encourages members, their families, and friends to support ARCS National through charitable giving. Contributions to the ARCS National Operations and Endowment Funds strengthen the Foundation's ability to serve chapters nationwide while increasing support for ARCS Scholars.
The Chapter Challenge recognizes excellence in two categories: the Participation Challenge, which rewards the highest percentage of member participation, and the Champion Challenge, which honors the chapters that raise the most total dollars. First- and second-place chapters in each category receive Scholar Award grants to support future ARCS Scholars.
This year, the Phoenix Chapter once again demonstrated exceptional member engagement by earning first place in the Participation Challenge, while the Oregon Chapter secured second place.
In the Champion Challenge, the Metro Washington Chapter claimed the top spot for raising the highest total amount in support of ARCS National. The Phoenix Chapter finished in second place, continuing its long-standing tradition of strong support for the Foundation's mission.
