The Athletes for Life (AFL) Foundation is a partnership of World Class Athletes, medical professionals and key individuals teaming with corporations, philanthropic organizations and public entities to save lives, create opportunity and “Save Lives One Heart at a Time” all over the world, from young athletes, to children, families and the underserved within all communities and companies. AFL Foundation, founded by some of the greatest athletes in the history of the United States sports industry, is a new 501(c)(3) not for profit foundation. What is different and special about AFL Foundation? It’s the human energy, commitment and passion of it’s members; the defining technology perfected along with the United States Air Force; and the relating technology and service commitment.

The underlying goal is to have young people understand the value and meaning of good health, staying healthy and living a healthy lifestyle. We expect to give a new and unheard of meaning to “ROLE MODEL.” This will be done through our World Class Athlete Members and other Global Leaders in many different areas of endeavor. It will be at the local grass roots level-where the communities are in need. It starts with our Pro-Sports legends and Olympic winners that are AFL Foundation members. Each knows the value and merits of winning, having an opportunity and giving or translating a piece of themselves to doing something positive and having hope and inspiring others to have hope. This is “what we want to translate and give to the athletic, underprivileged and disenfranchised.” This partnership build-out depends on securing the interest and support of industry leaders, philanthropic and other institutions that share our vision and passion to change the course of events for all athletes of all ages and people of limited opportunity around the world. It does not have to be this way (kids dropping dead from sudden cardiac attack). Together we can change these dreadful facts.
