Elise came home from school the other day saying she wished she had a HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS! I asked her why, and she started telling me excitedly about this assembly at school, and how she would get a little water bottle if she brought enough money (like probably a HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS!). And she knew exactly what she would do with her little water bottle, put it on her bike and if she gets thirsty while riding her bike, she could just drink out of the bottle, and WOULDN'T THAT BE PERFECT?
Yes, Elise, that's very exciting, but what is the money for?
They give it to the people who have sick hearts, she says.
I checked her backpack and luckily the school sent home some information about this fund raiser. It's a good thing they don't rely on the 5-year-olds to pass on accurate information!
Anyway, they are having a Jump Rope for Heart event in a couple weeks, and the kids are raising money for the American Heart Association.
I helped her donate $5, which is enough to earn that little water bottle. But if she can raise a little more, she can earn a jumprope and maybe even a t-shirt. The deadline for fundraising is March 3rd.
If anyone out there feels like giving a little to a good cause, Elise would sure appreciate it.
You can donate online through Elise's Donation Page, or you can contact me if you want to send a check (made out to American Heart Association).
