With a mission to save lives, The Play For Jake Foundation focuses on the prevention and education of undetected heart conditions in youth. Our work lies in three key areas:

Heart Screenings

Since its inception, the foundation has provided 3,700+ screenings to local youth in two states. Screenings involve a routine EKG and Echo procedure which are analyzed by board certified pediatric cardiologists with Peyton Manning’s Children’s Hospital.

AED Donations

The Play For Jake Foundation has raised funds to donate Automated External Defibrillators to key public safety areas like gymnasiums, stadiums and first responder vehicles. Learn more about the importance of AEDs here

Advocacy

Advocating at the local, state and national levels, the Play For Jake Foundation has implemented advocacy around heart screenings, AEDs, and school safety with major progress made in the Indiana legislature in 2021 and 2023. You can learn more about these efforts and Jake’s Law here.

Play For Jake Golf Outing

We host our annual Play For Jake Golf Outing every June as our main fundraising event. Members of our community gather together for a day of golf and networking in honor of Jake’s memory.

Each year, Jake’s family and friends dedicate their time as volunteers to make each and every golf outing a great success. You can learn more about the next Play For Jake Golf Outing here and you can view pictures from past Play For Jake Golf Outings in our gallery
