Jump Rope for Heart is a service partnership program between the American Heart Association and the Ohio Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance.  Schools interested to sponsor a Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser will have the opportunity to earn money to support cardiovascular research for Ohioians, teach students the benefits of jumping rope and lifelong fitness.  In return for your participation, OAHPERD will donate a one year professional membership to coordinators who complete the program and schools can earn gymnasium equipment for each dollar raised.
