Jump Rope for Heart

It's time to get ready for our school’s Jump Rope for Heart kick-off as we join the American Heart Association and learn that being active equals fun all while raising money to save lives in our own community.

Do you have your fundraising page yet? If not, you might want to quickly register your page and get started on fundraising so that you can receive Gabby!  Who is Gabby? She is our long armed giraffe that your student can receive when you raise $150.00 online before our school’s Jump Rope for Heart kick off.

Need to register your student and fundraising page?  No problem. Here are four easy steps to be on your way to fundraising and saving lives.

  1. Go to www.heart.org/jump and search for your school area

  2. Once you find your school, click on Join the Team

  3. Create a username and password and then fill out the registration form

  4. Share your personal fundraising link with friends and family right away.

Once your student has their fundraising page then login to take the Zoo Crew Ecard Challenge or the Zoo Crew Daily Mission to unlock cool things in your expedition! Thank you for joining us as we challenge each other to keep our heart healthy and raise money for kids with special hearts.  After you have logged in, take this year’s ZOO CREW ECARD CHALLENGE!  

  1. Choose One of our Zoo Crew and Upload a Photo

  2. Take a Challenge to Improve your own Heart Health

  3. Share with 10 Friends & Challenge them too!

Once you do this you will have earned Rory's Zoo Crew Badge! You can wear him on your lanyard with the rest of the Zoo Crew. Check in with your teacher as she has this badge.

Congrats, once you take the challenge you have officially gone WILD about heart health by being physically active and eating more fruits and veggies!

Thank you and good luck!
