We all have someone or something that motivates us – it’s who we play for. Who We Play For (WWPF) is a non-profit organization motivated by the young lives lost to Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). By providing cardiac screening and increasing awareness, our fight is to help ensure other families, schools, and communities will never know the pain of losing a loved one to SCA. By partnering with hundreds of schools and sports clubs across the country, WWPF provides simple and effective electrocardiogram (ECG) heart screenings to young people, particularly student athletes.
Thanks to the support and resources of the Jim Moran School of Entrepreneurship and The Center for Leadership and Social Change, Who We Play For has grown to be one of the biggest heart screening organizations in the country. With over 80,000 student athletes and students screened, we’ve identified at least 65 life threatening heart conditions requiring medical intervention and dozens more minor abnormalities that can be monitored to prevent future issues.
