It is an easy way to combine a curriculum of cardiovascular fitness with fun. It is educational and supports an important cause-the fight against heart disease and stroke. Over the past 20 years, participation in this program has helped Canada's students get more active and make healthier decisions that last a lifetime.

Hoops for Heart is an in-school basketball program, that provides the resources to teach the students the importance of caring for their hearts. It is a fun-filled social event that promotes physical activity while supporting a worthwhile cause.
