#BeFearless Back to School Sweepstakes

The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS), an international honor society recognizing the outstanding achievements of students, was recently invited by the Case Foundation to partner in a special Back to School Sweepstakes to celebrate NSHSS scholars and other young leaders who are taking bold risks to positively impact others.

The sweepstakes is open to any student, educator, parent, or champion of young leaders to participate.

The Case Foundation’s #BeFearless campaign encourages all individuals to celebrate fearless role models and life lessons by answering the question: Who taught you what it means to be fearless? Did your best friend inspire you to take risks? Did your high school counselor encourage you to be bold? Did your coach help you bounce back from failure?

To participate, visit facebook.com/casefoundation and select the Back to School Sweepstakes tab for instructions on how to submit your Instagram video with the hashtags #BeFearless and/or #NSHSS.

The campaign runs through Friday, September 13 to win an iPad Mini!
