Who Do You Mask For?
Who We Play For wants to help give back to those that have always supported us so much with our heart screenings. For the past few weeks, we have had several volunteers who have been making 100% cotton masks for adults.We are hoping to provide 1-2 masks per person, in the order of requests received, as quickly as possible. If you sew and would like to assist, please contact us at info@whoweplayfor.org.
We can also send you instructions for making your own or connect you with groups that are providing homemade masks for health care workers in our community. Donations of elastic would be a great help, as it’s in short supply now. If we have elastic, we will use it, otherwise your mask will have ties. Who We Play For relies heavily on donations, especially when we are unable to provide our screening services. Any contribution is sincerely appreciated, but a picture of you wearing your mask is required and will be included in our website!

The most effective way to detect these heart conditions is with an electrocardiogram (ECG) screening and in some cases an echocardiogram.

Bliss by J. Santiago
Bliss is a fictional story loosely based on the story of Who We Play For. The dream is to use this powerful narrative as a tipping point behind a national movement to deliver ECG heart screenings for our student athletes.
We challenge you to turn the page and join the fight to end preventable tragedies by bringing heart screening to your community. Together, we have the power to demand heart screenings as a common sense standard of care.
