Jump Rope for Heart

Avionté Hope Foundation (AHF) sponsored Jailynn Green, a student raising money for the American Heart Association, by donating $10 for each employee who participated in the Jump Rope for Heart initiative.

 

In true Avionté style, many  employees challenged each other to wear fun costumes, sing songs and jump double-dutch for additional, personal donations. Pictured above are Des, Danny and Dan who fulfilled their challenge with real finesse. Not to be outdone, CEO John Long accepted a $200 challenge to dress as Elsa and sing "Let it Go" from the movie Frozen. A total of $1340 was donated.
