Resources for Your Event

One of the perks of participating in the Jump Rope For Heart and Hoops For Heart programs is the opportunity to teach the younger generation about heart healthy living. There are many ways to live healthy, and it's important to teach students how regular exercise, a healthy diet, and knowledge of risk factors can contribute to a long, healthy life. Physically active kids have better attendance, focus, behavior and academic performance. Encourage life-long, healthy habits in your students by including cross-curricular heart-health education in your event!
