OUR MISSION: FREE AEDS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES
Heart of the Game, Inc. was formerly a 501 (c)(3) non-profit committed to saving the lives of student athletes and others who experience Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) by providing free Automated External Defibrillators (AED) to community and athletic associations across the United States. Along with our partners, we placed the AEDs in public locations, and educated and trained those who may need to use one. Schools, community athletic clubs and facilities, and community engagement partners received the AEDs. As we have reached our goal and closed our charity, please see the above links for resources you can use.
