Hello from CHAD!
The Chad Foundation for Athletes and Artists has provided 10,000 heart screenings (Echocardiograms and Ekgs) to young people to prevent Sudden Cardiac Death in Young Athletes. Our new focus is a "Heart-Healthy Living Program for the Young through Diet, Exercise, and Monthly Tips from Cardiologists, Fitness, and Nutrition Professionals." Topics will include heart education, lifestyle changes, heart-healthy menus, youth and family exercise programs, preventive heart screenings, CPR and AEDs, warning signs, and risk factors in the young.
Monthly Zoom audio interviews with Cardiologists, Pediatric Cardiologists, Echocardiographers, and Physicians specializing in hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity will inform and inspire young people and their parents instilling a Heart-Healthy Lifestyle for the entire Family. In CHAD'S Heart Screening history, cardiolgists found 1/3 of the young screened had 1 or more premature cardiovascular risk factors. CHAD was honored to work with renowned hospitals such as Johns Hopkins, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, NYU, and Columbia Presbyterian in our Heart Screening Program. Your up-to-date studies and valuable experience will be instrumental in raising awareness of heart health in youth, their parents, and the whole family.
Our namesake, Chad Alan Butrum, was only 26 years old when he died of "Sudden Cardiac in Young Athletes," while playing football with no history of heart problems. He lived his life caring about the health and welfare of all people, regardless of age, orientation, or heritage-"Healthy Body, Mind, and Spirit." Chad never drank alcohol, smoked cigarettes, or did drugs. He loved sports and eating healthy food. His non-profit foundation is founded on the values he lived by so that others may live long, healthy lives and achieve their greatest dreams.
Your invaluable expertise can help instill a heart-healthy lifestyle now and for future generations. We would be honored to have your participation in one of our monthly Zoom interviews to be scheduled at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you and appreciate your including a CV. Thank you for your daily work to safeguard young hearts and save lives.
From the Heart,

PO Box 145, Radio City Station, New York, NY 10021, US
Mission Statement
The Chad Foundation for Athletes and Artists' mission is two-fold: First, to raise awareness of Sudden Cardiac Death in Young Athletes and Students through educational lectures, videos, and preventive "Cardiovascular Screenings to High Schools, Colleges, Athletic organizations, and the Disenfranchised," which also identify early cardio risk factors. Secondarily, our mission as artists is to create/produce/sponsor art - film, theatre, and books that celebrate American stories of all heritages and provide inspiring role models. Chad is dedicated to showing the inherent diversity of our country - the struggles, joys, and dreams of all Americans and providing a format for artists of all heritages to showcase their talents. "The Gifts of Heart and Art."
Description
On April 29, Chad was playing football in Van Nuys, CA, and collapsed suddenly and died with no history of heart disease. The Chad Foundation for Athletes and Artists was founded, to raise awareness of Sudden Cardiac Death and inspire youth to live as he did- anti-substance abuse and alcohol-free, "Healthy body/mind/ spirit." (Chad never smoked a cigarette or drank an alcoholic beverage his entire Life.)
The Gift of Heart and Art
The Chad Foundation provides preventive heart screenings that detect unknown heart anomalies and safeguard hearts. Chad has provided cardiovascular screening events in 5 states and abroad (Austria, screening 16 countries of athletes and Sweden, screening 26 countries of athletes participating in the "Homeless Streetsoccer World Cups") for a total of 9,250 persons screened. In NY, post 9-11, Chad provided 2,000 NYPD officers with complete cardiovascular screenings at The NY Police Academy. Columbia University football players also received free echocardiograms, ECGs, diabetes, cholesterol, BMI (obesity), and blood pressure screenings.
The Chad Players provided 9 Off-Broadway multi-cultural performances to challenge the mind and heal the spirit, including their production of "Days of Wine and Roses." The play was sponsored by "The Atlantic City Commission on Missing & Abused Children" as the community event of the year to show teens the deleterious effects substance abuse can have on the family.
