SAVE A LIFE…
CHANGE THE WORLD!

AMERICA'S NEW GENERATION OF FIRST RESPONDERS

AFA is a growing National Network of Athletes, sports teams and sports organizations that are committed to promoting and participating in emergency preparedness training programs (CPR, First Aid, AED, CERT) so that we as a Nation will be better prepared for any type of natural, manmade or day to day emergency.

Mission Statement

“To utilize the strength of our Athletes and the power of the American sports system and media to help educate millions of Americans on how each one of us can become better prepared and trained for any type of natural, manmade or day to day emergency.”

When seconds matter, preparation saves lives

Every day, ordinary moments can turn extraordinary in an instant. A crisis. An emergency. A life hanging in the balance. The question isn’t if you’ll face one —
it’s whether you’ll be ready.

Born from the heartbreak of September 11th, Athletes for America has spent 25 years turning that question into action. We harness the discipline, courage, and competitive spirit of America’s athletes — channeling the power of sport into something greater than any game: the ability to save a life.

Through world-class training and education, we prepare young men and women to rise in any emergency — calm, capable, and ready to act when it matters most. One moment we can change everything. One person can too.
