YOU DID IT!!! Jump Rope For Heart Huge Success!

This year fundraising total collected was $ 3640.35, surpassing last years total of approx, $2400.

Of the approx. 425 students at the Ezra Baker School 76 Children or roughly 18% of school voluntarily participated and raised money. All children who brought in any amount of money, regardless of their fundraising amount earned at least 2 prizes as a thank you for their efforts to try to do what they could do in this effort to raise money and awareness. But, all 425 children in the school, participated in their physical education class in the school’s week long Jump Rope For Heart activities involving 12 stations of varied fun activities focusing on a jumping theme.

We had 16 donations made “in memory of” which is very special. This fundraising effort promoted the discussion that we had hoped for among family members and a focus for reaching out to people to do the fundraising. We had one family report to us that it gave their daughter a chance to feel special in her effort to raise money for a loved family member who passed away due to heart problems, very special family time!
Because of YOU...The "Baker School" children and their families, along with this donation to the AHA, our school qualified for a $200 equipment voucher from the AHA, for the purchase of new equipment, which in return, will benefit the children at our School and our community, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH!
