Between 2011 and 2020, Hopping 4 A Cure grew from a single high school hopscotch tournament into 10+ student-led chapters across the country, at Boston University, Georgia State, Florida State, UCF, the University of Florida, the University of San Francisco and more. Each chapter hosted Recess Olympics and raised money for an MS scholarship in its own community.
The pandemic paused our campus events. Now we're relaunching chapter by chapter, starting with our home chapter in South Florida. If you're a student, teacher or community leader who wants to bring Recess Olympics to your school or town, we'll give you the playbook, the materials and a team behind you.

Hopping 4 A Cure has been a great experience for me, because I was able to develop many skills that I will be able to implement in my future, I got to meet many young, determined, and like-minded individuals, and I had the opportunity to positively contribute to my community and campus.
