Empowering Athletes, Protecting Hearts, Saving Lives
Huddle For Hearts® is a national life-saving initiative powered by The Peyton Walker Foundation. We partner with collegiate/high school athletes and students who are dedicated to our mission of increasing awareness and survival rates of Sudden Cardiac Arrest to grow our impact across the US.
Through our Huddle For Hearts® program, AEDs and CPR training are donated to youth sports and youth service organizations, especially in underserved communities, where kids play, practice, and gather. Early defibrillation with an AED can mean the difference between life and death.
Athletes are encouraged to become Heart Heroes by helping fundraise, securing performance-based sponsorships, and supporting AED placement and CPR training for coaches, players, and parents. We also provide guidance to create emergency response plans that save lives. For more information, contact Julie Walker.
