Jump Rope for Heart is the school fundraiser you don't want to skip!
For 45 years, Jump Rope for Heart has inspired generations of students across Canada to get active, learn about heart and brain health and give back to their communities.
Schools with Jump spirit!
Across Canada, schools are having fun and making an impact with Jump Rope for Heart!
St. Gregory Catholic School
Serving students from kindergarten to grade 3, St. Gregory Catholic School is small, but mighty! As one of Canada's most successful Jump Rope for Heart schools, they have consistently ranked among the country’s top fundraisers, earning first place in Canada in 2022 and 2023, and first place in Ontario and second place in Canada from 2024 to 2026.
Their success is a result of strong school spirit, early planning, and a dedicated Teacher Champion who begins building excitement months before Event Day. By engaging students, staff and families around a cause that matters, St. Gregory has created a fundraising tradition that continues to deliver incredible results year after year.
St. Emile Catholic School
In their very first year participating in Jump Rope for Heart, St. Emile raised more than $15,000, nearly doubling their ambitious fundraising goal of $8,000.
Students and staff built excitement throughout the school year with fun challenges, movement activities and a shared commitment to making a difference. What’s even more inspiring? Much of their fundraising success was driven by primary students, proving that even the youngest Heart Heroes can make a big impact.
St. Emile's success shows that with enthusiasm, creativity and school spirit, an incredible first-year campaign is within reach.
Heritage Heights Public School
Heritage Heights showed that a successful Jump Rope for Heart campaign is about more than fundraising, it's about bringing a school community together.
After nearly doubling their fundraising goal, students and staff spent the month building skills, boosting school spirit and having fun. Their campaign kicked off with a school-wide assembly and unique fundraising challenges to keep students motivated.
A highlight was the “Tattoo the Teacher” fundraiser where students donated to choose temporary tattoos for staff members to wear, creating laughter and excitement across the school.
The month wrapped up with a showcase assembly where students proudly demonstrated their skipping skills and tricks, celebrating the difference they made and everything they accomplished together.
