ABOUT US
Ellie's Mum Challenge can be summed up in four words: bring back, give back.
​
Ellie's Mum Challenge invited students to downsize their mums, bringing back the simple Texas Homecoming tradition of wearing real chrysanthemum flowers, while giving back to a local charity in need.
As a freshman at Reedy High School in 2015, Ellie created the Mum Challenge and then expanded the challenge to be available to all Frisco ISD schools from 2017-2019.
From 2015-2019, more than $6,000 was raised for the community through Ellie's Mum Challenge.
