AAU Jump Rope Members in the Macy's Day Parade!

10/21/2013 | Written by: Amanda Szylin


Most families join in the tradition of watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV, but some members of the Heartbeats Jump Rope team from Cleveland, Ohio will get the chance to participate in the parade. The Heartbeats will coordinate the Macy's Day Parade routine and some will have the chance to participate, along with other jumpers from around the country.

This isn't the first time Heartbeats' coach, Pam Evans, has been a part of the parade. After a difficult application process in 2008, she was allowed to bring 25 jumpers. When she reapplied again the next year, she wanted to take more jumpers from all over the country. Her request was approved and she took 144 that year. This year, she will be taking 212 jumpers, 21 of which are from her Heartbeats team.
