Watch the Challenge in Motion

Relive Past Challenges

The Lake Powell Challenge has been held annually since at least 2009. Photos and updates from years 2009 through 2015 are collected in the Previous Events archive, and the 2012, 2013 and 2014 events are documented here with video.

Every registration helps raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and supports local youth through the Antelope Point Marina Scholarship Fund.

Lake Powell Challenge video pages collect footage from years of rallies held at Antelope Point Marina, where participants gathered to raise awareness and funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The video library organizes highlights by year, offering a way to revisit the energy of the crowd, the music, and the shared purpose that brought so many people to the water. Whether you are a returning supporter or a first-time visitor, these recordings capture the spirit of a community committed to a cause larger than itself.

Watching past event videos is one of the simplest ways to understand what the Lake Powell Challenge stands for. You will see crowds assembled in a single place, families and supporters cheering together, and performers lending their voices to the celebration of freedom, movement, and solidarity with incarcerated people and prisoners' families. The footage serves as a reminder that action can take many forms, from rallying on the lake to petitioning, fundraising, and raising awareness through art and music.

The Black August Hip-Hop framing of the site's video content reflects a long tradition of using hip-hop as a vehicle for social change and prisoner support. Performers appear alongside speakers, organizers, and advocates, turning a charity benefit into a platform for testimony and call to action. Recurring footage from the challenge's history also highlights the artists and allies who contributed their time, showing how concerts, spoken word, and community organizing can combine into one powerful expression of resistance and hope.
