Earlier this year, The Marisa Tufaro Foundation was one of two beneficiaries of John Marshall Elementary School’s highly successful Jump-A-Thon. The fitness fundraiser, which physical education teacher Scott Gerba organized, involved more than 100 fifth-grade students. The Jump-A-Thon is a culminating event of the physical fitness activities in which the children participated throughout the year. The Jump-A-Thon was a collaborative effort involving all of the fifth-grade teachers. In previous years, the annual Jump-A-Thon has benefited the Ronald McDonald House and St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
