Hillsborough County families have three upcoming opportunities for students to receive a FREE ECG heart screening through Who We Play For. We encourage Burns families to take advantage of this potentially life-saving preventative measure and sign up.

An ECG is painless, non-invasive, takes about 5 minutes, and is read by a board-certified pediatric cardiologist. These screenings also fulfill the new FHSAA and Second Chance Act requirements beginning Fall 2026 — so especially for 7th and 8th graders, getting an ECG now means it won't need to be repeated for high school athletic clearances.

Upcoming FREE screening dates (registration required; space may be limited):

• Saturday, September 12 — 9:00 AM–12:00 PM — Sickles High School, 7950 Gunn Hwy, Tampa (Auditorium Rooms 802 & 803). Register: https://whoweplayfor.org/form-redirect?id=262323784049057

• Saturday, September 19 — 9:00 AM–2:00 PM — New Mt Zion Missionary Baptist Church, 2511 E Columbus Dr, Tampa. Register: https://whoweplayfor.jotform.com/262114151179047

• Wednesday, September 23 — 4:00 PM–7:00 PM — King High School, 6815 N 56th St, Tampa (enter through the Front Office; screening in the Clinic). Register: https://whoweplayfor.jotform.com/262356548057060
