Charter Tigers Jump for a Good Cause

Students at Cherokee Charter Academy in Canton were “hoppy” to be part of a national fundraising project for the American Heart Association. 

The Tigers raised more than six-thousand dollars through AHA’s “Jump Rope for Heart” campaign. 

The money will be used for research into cardiovascular disease & strokes as well as health education efforts.

For the bouncing benefactors it was a great lesson in the value of service to community and the importance of heart-healthy habits including staying physically active.
