JRFH events are organized and conducted by physical education teachers, classroom teachers, classroom parents and community organizations. Last year throughout the State of Michigan, thousands of Michigan students were taught the value of cardiovascular health and fitness by participating in Jump Rope For Heart. Jump Rope For Heart has been a nationwide event since 1979. Funds generated by JRFH are used to support cardiovascular research and to develop youth-oriented education materials. Jump Rope For Heart events can take place in a gymnasium, community activity center, local shopping center, outdoors, etc.
Students win fantastic prizes.
Jump Rope For Heart is easy to conduct. Every one has fun and jumping rope is heart healthy. Just complete and mail the registration form. Once we receive your form, we will send you a Coordinator's Guide and materials you will need to conduct your event. For more information see the National JRFH site .
