What is Jump Rope For Heart?
Jump Rope For Heart is a national educational fund-raising program that is sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD). 

This program engages elementary students in a physical activity (jumping rope) while raising funds to support lifesaving heart and stroke research.  Students ask friends and family for donations and receive thank-you gifts based on the dollars they raise.  This educational program teaches physical fitness and promotes the value of community service to students and their families.  It shows students that they can contribute to their community's welfare. 

You can sign up and raise money online!  Check out our new computer donation Web site and find out how easy it is.  Watch our great video for more information!

The AHA was able to award more than $147.5 million in research grants last year, but we still fell short of our goal to fund 725 additional qualifying grant and fellowship applications.  Help us fund the next big breakthrough or lifesaving discovery.
