Who We Are
Our friend, classmate, and teammate, Rafe Maccarone, is Who We Play For. On November 30, 2007, we were warming up for our high school soccer practice when Rafe suffered from Sudden Cardiac Arrest. The next day, he passed away and it changed everything for our community.
We later found out that Rafe had Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Had he had an ECG prior to November 30, 2007, there is a 95% chance he would have been diagnosed and could still be with us today.
Who We Play For was born from our loss and what we learned following Rafe’s death. We never want another family, team, school, or community to experience what we did that day.
Rafe is Who We Play For.
What We Do
We exist to eliminate preventable sudden cardiac death in the young through affordable heart screenings, AEDs and working with communities to honor every kid who never had the chance.
