[Pt2027] FW: EXTERNAL EMAIL: Awesome Opportunity for PT and PTA Students - Up to $1, 500 in Funding for Community Initiatives

[Leineke, Lori A]

Students,

Attached is information regarding the APTA NC Community Impact Challenge.  One of our recent graduates won this a few years ago and was able to supply the wellness program with new equipment that we all , including our patients, can now use. Reach out to me if you are thinking of a community project and would like guidance.

Thanks,
Dr. Leineke

Good Morning,

I hope you are doing well. I'm writing to share information about APTA North Carolina's Community Impact Challenge (CIC) which provides funding to PT and PTA students to help them address an identified community need. Past winners have come from Campbell University, Central Carolina Community College, East Carolina University, Elon University, and Winston-Salem State University with CIC funding supporting pro-bono clinics, wellness programs, health science camps, student outreach and mentorship programs.

The purpose of my email is to request your support of the CIC by sharing information about the Community Impact Challenge with your students. The application deadline is November 14, 2025.

More information about the Community Impact Challenge can be found here<https://www.aptanc.org/dei>. I've also attached a flyer.

Thank you in advance for sharing this with students in your program. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Have a great day,
