OUR MISSION

A young athlete dies every 72 hours from SCA, but we believe these tragedies can be prevented. We believe this is possible by:

• Advancing overall awareness to young athletes, parents, and coaches
• Providing youth, schools, and organizations with access to life-saving automated external defibrillators and preventative heart screenings
• Implementing training standards and safety protocols in athletic associations and educational institutions
• Advocating for the establishment of legislation supporting SCA standardized requirements.

By founding Smiling Hearts, our vision is to turn every potential tragedy of Sudden Cardiac Arrest into a story of survival. Learn more about our key areas of focus.
