NOTABLY, 100% OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS SERVED BY THE FOUNDATION EITHER MAINTAINED OR REESTABLISHED THEIR RECOGNITION AS "SAFE SPORTS SCHOOLS" BY THE NATIONAL ATHLETIC TRAINERS ASSOCIATION. OUR ATHLETIC TRAINERS PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN COVERING REGIONAL AND HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC EVENTS, AS WELL AS CLUB SPORTING ACTIVITIES ACROSS SEVERAL PARISHES. IT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT NINE OF THE TWELVE HIGH SCHOOLS SERVED QUALIFY FOR THE "TITLE 1" EDUCATION PROGRAM.THE FOUNDATION PROVIDED ADDITIONAL SUPPORT THROUGH ITS FREE "FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL CLINIC," WHERE 42 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT-ATHLETES WERE EVALUATED UNDER PHYSICIAN OVERSIGHT. ADDITIONALLY, WE HELD OUR 4TH ANNUAL "GAME DAY PREP PHYSICAL DAY," PROVIDING 1,041 FREE ATHLETIC PHYSICALS TO STUDENT-ATHLETES FROM ACROSS THE REGION WITH THE HELP OF OVER 135 VOLUNTEERS. THROUGHOUT "PHYSICAL SEASON," THE FOUNDATION PROVIDED MORE THAN 3,500 FREE PHYSICALS TO STUDENT-ATHLETES AT THEIR HOME SCHOOLS.THE FOUNDATION MAINTAINED DAILY ORTHOPEDIC ASSESSMENTS AND REHABILITATION SERVICES ON LOCAL CAMPUSES, COVERING APPROXIMATELY 20,000 STUDENT-ATHLETES.

IN 2024, WE PROVIDED OVER $10,000 IN FREE MRI SCANS AND PHYSICIAN APPOINTMENTS FOR UNDERINSURED INDIVIDUALS. FULL-TIME ATHLETIC TRAINERS ON SCHOOL CAMPUSES ENABLED BETTER PATIENT CARE, EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT, AND RELIEF FOR WORKING PARENTS FACING CHALLENGES WITH FUNDING OR TRANSPORTATION.OUR LOCAL PHYSICAL THERAPY CLINICS AND HOSPITALS CONTINUED TO PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN SUPPORTING THIS PROGRAM BY PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL ACCESS TO CARE, MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE FOUNDATION'S PRESENCE ON LOCAL COMMUNITY CAMPUSES.
