HeartBright partnering with Phil Crosby's P21 youth program

HeartBright is aware that many health challenges as we get older can be prevented through detection and better informed choices at an early age. This awareness along with health education, mentoring and lifestyle changes available through our youth programs help to create healthier adults in future generations.

HeartBright has been partnering with Phil Crosby's P21 youth program since 2013 to bring youth mentoring to our particpants. Phil Crosby, retired NFL, has structured his program to be focused on mentoring youth to make positive choices in their lives, both at school and home. P21 also encourages participants to stay active through a variety of activities.

Mr. Crosby's program has additionally held football camps for high school students and field days for younger children. We have been fortunate that the P21 program has provided 90 free scholarship spots to date for our youth to particpate in Mr. Crosby's camps. Mr. Crosby has also been an ongoing speaker in our youth programming as well as the Celebrity Chairman of our annual golf tournament to raise funds for our youth programming efforts.
