Hi Parents/Guardians!

Thank you for supporting your child’s participation in Jump Rope for Heart! We extend a warm welcome to those who are joining us for the first time and a heartfelt welcome back to those who have participated before.

Let's make this experience unforgettable for your child with these fantastic tips: 

Share Your Family's Story: Unleash the Power of Connection 

Has anyone in your family been touched by heart disease or stroke? Or perhaps you have your own fond memories of participating in Jump Rope for Heart when you were younger? Share these stories with your child! Connecting their Jump journey to your family’s personal experiences will make the program even more meaningful. Check out our Jump’s Heart Heroes for some motivational stories. 

EASY Healthy Habits 

Your child can practice and track their EASY Healthy Habit every day through their Participant Centre Dashboard online or our printable Healthy Habit chart. It's an exciting opportunity to establish healthy habits that promote a lifetime of well-being. Also, check out our EASY Online Challenge, for EASY games for the whole family. 

Ignite Generosity: Let the Fundraising Magic Begin! 

Customize your child's fundraising page through the Participant Centre and let their unique personality shine! It's an opportunity to get creative and make a meaningful impact. Share your child's fundraising page link or download their personal QR Code by clicking the "Share and get page link/QR Code" button located in the top right corner of your Participant Centre Dashboard. Together, let's rally and create a wave of support! 

Parent/Guardian Tip: Jump mom Savera, suggests allowing your child to get creative with what they want to say on their fundraising page (perfect grammar is boring!). Emails written by your child asking for support makes it more fun for their donors to read!

 Hi Parents/Guardians,

We hope your child is getting excited for their school’s upcoming Jump Event! 

We have included some valuable recommendations below to help you and your child make the most of your Jump experience. 

Share the Jump Joy on Social Media! 

Let the world know that your child is participating in Jump Rope for Heart and invite friends and family to support their fundraising journey. Simply download and save our social media templates  then share it to your social networks with your child’s fundraising page link! 

Parent/Guardian Tip: Jack says, share a photo on your social channels of your child practicing their favourite healthy habit, along with what healthy habits mean to them (in their words!). 

Why We Jump  

Why is it important to participate in Jump Rope for Heart? Not only does it provide a fantastic opportunity for your child to get active, learn healthy habits, and have a blast, but it also allows them to make a tangible impact in the lives of other children who have been affected by heart disease and stroke. Children like Alyssa, who was born with a congenital heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot. Alyssa had her first heart surgery when she was just 5 months old. Her mom Megan says “Alyssa wouldn't be here if today's medicine wasn't as advanced as it is.  Many moons ago kids didn't make it to their teenage years with this defect. Thanks to continuing education and research, new ways to cure and maintain these issues and many others are possible!”

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We wanted to take a moment to wish your child an awesome Event Day and thank them for all their hard work! 

School Give-Back: Keep the Momentum Going! 

Did you know that your child can continue fundraising for the next two weeks after your school’s Event Day to make an even bigger impact in the fight against heart disease and stroke? By raising funds, their school can choose to receive 8% of the total amount raised, allowing them to purchase new equipment and supplies that benefit all students or donate these funds back to Heart & Stroke to support lifesaving research.   

Unlock Thank You Gift Cards: Celebrate Achievements! 

If your school participates in the Thank You Gift Card program, your child’s fundraising will count towards earning fantastic rewards. It's an opportunity for the Jump Rope for Heart team to say, “thank you” and to celebrate your child's efforts and achievements. Click here to discover the exciting gifts that await! 

Prepare for Event Day! 

Be sure to keep an eye on your school’s newsletter or announcements regarding specific communications around your Jump Event Day details!  Consider dressing your child in red, or their school's colours! Jump isn't just about jumping, it is about getting their heart pumping any way they'd like! Take a moment to talk to your child about why participating in Jump is so important. Share a story about your own family history as it pertains to heart disease and stroke, or how their fundraising efforts help other children affected. It's a great opportunity to instill empathy and the value of making a difference.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We hope your child is still buzzing with excitement from their Jump Event Day! 

Don’t forget you have 2 weeks from your Event Day to continue fundraising, making a difference, and growing your school’s Give-back. Every dollar counts! 

We want to express our deepest gratitude for supporting your child’s participation this year. Your efforts are directly contributing to saving lives and promoting a healthier future for children across Canada. Children like Julien, who at six months old, doctors discovered had a hole in his heart. Julian underwent open heart surgery at three years old and afterward suffered a pediatric stroke. Julian is now five years old and is still actively recovering.

To show our appreciation, we've prepared a special thank you message you can share with your child from Heartly and Hallie.

To help us in our future planning, we want to hear about your Jump experience this year and invite you to complete this survey. This survey is completely anonymous and will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. We value your opinions, and your feedback will help to ensure that we are providing a great experience for everyone.

Thank you once again for being part of this incredible journey. Your commitment and enthusiasm are truly inspiring. Together, we're making an impact! 

Be sure to remind your child to keep practicing their EASY Healthy Habits! 

Your friends, 

The Jump Rope for Heart Team
