JUMP ROPE FOR HEART

Huron is pleased to be holding a Heart and Stroke Foundation Jump Rope for Heart event on June 6th, 2017. All money raised will support the Heart and Stroke Foundation in their mission to promote children’s health and fund vital heart and stroke research. Jump Rope for Heart encourages kids to get active by skipping rope while they collect pledges for heart disease and stroke research. They also learn the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and giving back to their community. This year marks Jump Rope for Heart’s 35th Anniversary and the Heart and Stroke Foundation is striving to get 1 million kids Jumping in close to 4,000 schools across Canada. We need your help to surpass our last 2012 Jump Rope for Heart fundraising amount of $4174.00. Please help support your child’s fundraising efforts by registering them online at http://www.JumpRopeForHeart.ca and send out donation request emails to friends, family and colleagues. Online fundraising is the quickest way to reach all of your contacts and online donors receive an automatic tax receipt. Plus, when students receive their first online donation (of any amount), they will receive a $5 kick-start and a free skipping rope (at the end of June) from the Heart & Stroke Foundation! Each student will be bringing home a pledge envelope on Monday (after our kick-off assembly) if you prefer to collect donations in-person. Please ensure that their pledge envelope is returned on the day of their school’s Jump Event Day – June 6th, 2017. Please also return any unused envelopes.
