Kids Heart Challenge

Bright color text, says kids heart challenge

Join us as we raise money to benefit the American Heart Association. So far, Black Rock families raised over $5,700 towards our goal of $20,000 while learning about heart health and hands-only CPR! All students will participate in the educational piece of Kid’s Heart Challenge as part of their regular PE classes.

Fundraiser ends February 27th
