What is Hoops For Heart?   
It’s a fun event created by the American Heart Association-you'll learn cool new stuff and help others at the same time.  You'll learn basketball skills, you'll learn about heart health, but best of all, you'll be helping kids with special hearts.

Kids with special hearts are helped by the money you raise.

How Does It Work?
When you participate in Hoops For Heart you raise donations that will go to the American Heart Association.  They will use the money you raise to help pay for new medicines for kids with special hearts and to help doctors discover new medicines and treatments.

Here's What To Do
Ask for a Hoops For Heart collection envelope from your physical Education (PE) teacher.  Have your parents sign the permission slip and set your dollar goal by deciding how much money you want to raise.   Raise money using your very own Web Page and email!  Kids using their Web Page to raise funds can raise 3 times as much!

Creating your Web Page is fun and easy!  When you sign up to make your fundraising web page, you will have your own HeartQuarters that you can login to visit as many times as you like.  In your HeartQuarters, you can make changes to your Web Page, send emails to friends and family, and watch your fundraising thermometer grow!  All emails you send from HeartQuarters will include a link to your fundraising Web Page for your friends and family to see.

Be sure to turn in your signed permission slip and your collection envelope on the due date. Have fun shooting hoops, helping others, learning about your heart and how to keep it healthy.  Thanks for making a difference!
