The Anthony Bates Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization formed in 2002. We are
dedicated to save young lives through early detection of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. The Anthony Bates Foundation is
actively promoting public outreach programs through education and awareness for the need to provide heart screening events
for our youth. We offer training for groups that would like to provide their own events and/or The Anthony Bates Foundation
will coordinate events in your area. Our goal is to promote heart health education and awareness of HCM.
The Anthony Bates Foundation (ABF) believes that no parent should suffer the heartbreak of losing a child to an undiagnosed cardiac malady; we seek to eliminate preventable Sudden
Cardiac Arrest (SCA).
Anthony Bates Foundation will train your organization in all aspects of conducting ON-SITE
cardiovascular screenings for young students and adults. Using ultrasound imaging under the supervision of cardiologists
provides an excellent opportunity to detect life-threatening heart abnormalities. A student's family history of
heart conditions is also taken into consideration as part of the screening process.
