Baptist is once again a sponsor of the Southern Heritage Classic, an annual, three-day event that features a football game between Jackson State University and Tennessee State University.
As part of the sponsorship, Baptist is continuing its “Who Has the Most Heart Challenge” in partnership with the American Heart Association. TSU and JSU fans compete to see who can take control of their health by checking and improving their blood pressure. The winning team earns a $5,000 scholarship for their school, which the winning school can give to a student of its choice who meets the Baptist Scholarship Guidelines.
The contest is underway and ends on Dec. 31. During the contest, participants must monitor their weight and blood pressure and update their information twice a month. The AHA will send reminders when weight and blood pressure updates are due.
Volunteers are needed Saturday, September 12 from noon to 3 p.m. or 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Each volunteer will receive one ticket. For more information, please contact Psasha Taylor at 227-5324 or Psasha.Taylor@BMHCC.org. To sign up for the “Who Has the Most Heart Challenge,” please visit http://bpt.st/1LXliZo.
