Jump Rope For Heart
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Our school is participating in a very special community service program to raise funds for the American Heart Association. We’re joining in the fight against our nation’s No. 1 and No. 3 killers — cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
On March 26,2008 the students at the Branch our will participate in a Jump Rope For Heart event. These events are held nationwide and help students learn about the benefits of regular physical activity and heart health while they raise funds to support vital research and educational programs.
The money we raise will help people in our community learn how to avoid heart disease and stroke and live longer, healthier lives. The school will also qualify for gift certificates for physical education equipment based on the amount we raise. Students will receive thank-you gifts based on the amount they collect.
Family and friends are welcome to support your child’s participation by making contributions. We ask that children not go door-to-door or ask strangers for donations. Supporters can donate online at www.americanheart.org/jump. Help your child register and create his/her own web page with the tools provided online. Your child can include a message about why he or she is participating in Jump Rope For Heart.
All checks should be made payable to the American Heart Association. Asking about matching gifts programs can increase donations to make the event (and your child) more successful. If your employer has a matching gifts program, please note the matched amounts on the Sponsor Form of the collection envelope.
Please sign the Release and Indemnification form (Permission Slip) on the collection envelope so your child can take part in Jump Rope For Heart.
Jump Rope For Heart is a fun event that helps our children understand the importance of community service and physical activity. The money contributed will fund research that will save more lives each year ... maybe your own or that of someone in your family. Our efforts truly make a difference!
Sincerely,
Ms. White
