BA 342 CHANGE OUR WORLD CHALLENGE (FA16) Challenge Idea (Section #1): Your mission with this challenge is to find a way to positively impact/improve someone(s) life in a direct way. This can happen by simply helping someone in need or finding a way to help through a non-profit organization. You will do this by finding a way to engage with others around social responsibility, sustainability and integrity. The challenge can include a “small” cash gift (used in a creative way), an in-kind gift or volunteering to help someone (Note: If cash is part of your idea make sure it is “up to and no more than” $20.00). Having a personal impact many times does not require huge dollars. This project does NOT require giving of money (optional only). Section #1 of your paper is to describe your idea.Implementation Process (Section #2): The teaching team expects you to put into practice your idea for this challenge. Volunteering (3 hours minimum), in-kind donation (goods you own or control) or cash gift (Max. $20.00 deployed creatively). Explain the process of taking the action and the anticipated impact your action will make. Summary (Section #3): Explain who benefited from your challenge, were you successful and how did this challenge change your view or attitude toward helping others. Very important to discuss what you have gotten out of this (what you learned about yourself).

BA 342 CHANGE OUR WORLD CHALLENGE – FA16 BA 342
Name: Professor Johnson
Date: 10/6/16
Class: BA 342
Honor Statement: I affirm that the idea reflected below is my own work and that I
implemented the challenge discussed. (REQUIRED)
Challenge Statement: I agree to have my challenge idea shared through BA 342 and the
Smeal College of Business. (Optional)
Section #1 – Challenge Idea:
My idea starts with my love of integrity. I try and conduct my life with integrity and like to
encourage others to do so as well. When I considered this challenge my first thought was to just
go and volunteer somewhere for 3 hours but I decided I wanted to connect directly with people
where I could see/feel the impact. I remembered a young girl from my neighborhood who
belonged to the Girl Scouts of America Organization. This non-profit group promotes and
encourages young girls to experience new things, develop leadership skills and support
community efforts. I knew that the Girl Scouts were selling cookies (their major fund raiser) and
I decided to visit a troop selling cookies outside of a store. My plan is to ask how much a box
costs (around $4.00) and tell them I have $20.00. The goal is to have the girls choose 5 boxes
for me (their favorites). Once I have paid for these I will give them back the boxes of cookies
and ask them to give the 5 boxes, one at a time, to anyone they think would be blessed by them
(free of charge).
Section #2 – Implementation Process:
On Sept. 25, 2016 I found a group of girl scouts outside of Wal-Mart North Atherton in State
College, PA selling cookies – a perfect setting for my challenge idea. I went up and asked how
many boxes I could get for $20.00 and they said 5 boxes. I then asked the girls to pick out for
me 5 boxes which they did. Interestingly, they loved doing this. It was fun to hear them debate
which type would be best for me. They bagged them up for me and I handed them the $20.00.
Then the fun began – I did not accept the cookies but told them what I wanted them to do was to
bless 5 individuals with a free box of cookies. The Moms were excited, mouthing, “This is so
great!” I thanked them and walked away. As I walked away the buzz was amazing as Moms and
daughters excitedly talk about what to do.
Section #3 – Summary:
Interestingly, the benefits from this challenge grew. I could say those young girls who are getting
to practice working on my honor/giving challenge learned a valuable lesson. I could say the
Moms benefited from having a great teachable moment with their daughters. I could say that
their entire families and friends who learned of this activity benefited by the example. But, the
most benefit came back to me. What a great feeling to see something so simple have such a
positive impact. I would say the challenge worked quite well. I have always been a giving kind
of person (volunteering and donating to causes) but this somehow was the most fulfilling of all.
If all 1,200 students in our class really take the time to think about this and do the challenge I
can’t imagine all the good that we can produce.
