Del Rey Elementary Students Jump Rope for American Heart Association

is excited to participate in Jump Rope For Heart and you are an important part of this special program. We will have fun and learn about your own heart — how it works and how to protect it!

When you Jump Rope For Heart, you can help other kids — kids who have special hearts. Some kids have hearts that don't exactly work right. These kids need help from doctors and medicines to get better. And they need your help too! 

The money you raise will go to the American Heart Association to help pay for new medicines and treatments to be discovered.

Together, with your classmates, we will increase awareness for heart disease and stroke in our communities and spread the word on steps that we can take to lead healthier and longer lives! 

YOU + one jump rope = a BIG difference. Make your own fundraising web page and then send e-mails to your friends and family to help you be a Heart Hero!
