Hoops For Heart Program Looking for School Hosts

The Heart & Stroke Foundation of Manitoba (HSFM) is looking for Manitoba schools who may be interested in bringing in the 'Hoops For Heart' program as an innovative basketball fundraising option for their students.


Basketball Manitoba is a proud partner of the HSFM's 'Hoops for Heart'
Program!  Hoops for Heart is a program that gets students out of their
seats to sink baskets for a good cause. Students can earn prizes,
schools can earn valuable resources and the Heart and Stroke Foundation
of Manitoba raises funds to continue research into heart disease and
stroke.

Geared to students aged 11 to 14, Hoops for Heart teaches kids that an active heart is a healthy heart. With an emphasis on flexibility and fun, the program can be tailored to the needs of your school and students while getting everyone active. The program...

• 
  

  
  teaches students, parents and teachers about heart health living
  through curriculum approved lesson plans, and class and family
  activities.
  

  
  


• 
  

  
  Raises funds to make significant contributions towards research
  and health promotion against the leading cause of death in Canada for
  men and women.
