Why Donate
The reason we donate is to SAVE LIVES. Donations allow the American Heart Association provide treatment, procedures and care for those suffering from heart disease.
Depending on the level of individual funds raised, The American Heart Association shows appreciation for time and effort given by offering prizes! They also donate gift certificates for equipment for the Hess School PE program.
Whether students are motivated by to a friend or family member who may have suffered from heart disease or not, we remind our students of the main reason we participate in Jump Rope for Heart; to raise money, awareness, and offer hope to those who suffer from heart disease. Students learn to participate in a self-less cause.
