Sudden Cardiac Arrest is the #1 cause of death of student athletes and the #1 cause of death on school campuses. Yet most student athletes aren’t screened for the heart conditions that can lead to SCA.

Standard school physicals check height, weight, and vision, but often skip the heart entirely.

That’s where Keep The Beat steps in.

Our program brings accessible preventative heart screenings and CPR education directly to the community. We partner with schools, teams, and families to ensure every student has a fighting chance, because early detection saves lives.

💬 Follow us to stay informed about upcoming heart screenings, CPR classes, and community events.
📣 Share this post with a parent, coach, or school administrator, because your voice helps us ensure no other life is affected by SCA.

Learning to Save Lives 💜

Before diving into hands-on practice, our CPR students watched a step-by-step demo to build confidence and understanding. Every class starts with the basics, because knowing how to act is just as important as taking action.

We’re so proud of each person who showed up and took the time to learn how to respond in an emergency. Your willingness to learn can truly save lives. Thank you for being part of the movement to Keep The Beat strong in our community.

More classes coming soon... Stay tuned!

💜 Meet the Reason We Keep The Beat 💜

On March 30, 2017, Javaris “Vari” Benson collapsed while playing a game of pickup basketball with friends on his college campus. He was just 21 years old.

A student. A son. A brother. A friend.

Vari experienced symptoms that were concerning, but instead of being met with care and urgency, his concerns were dismissed. He was misdiagnosed with anxiety, and because of that, he never received a heart screening that could have saved his life. A simple test, just minutes long, might have changed everything.

His death was preventable.

In the wake of unimaginable loss, his mother and brother, Lekesha and Jacory, made a choice: to turn pain into purpose. They launched The NOLA Network in his honor — not just to remember Vari, but to fight for the lives of others.

That fight continues today through our Keep The Beat program — where we provide:

🫀 Youth heart screenings
🧠 CPR training for students, schools, and families
💬 Education and advocacy around Sudden Cardiac Arrest
❤️ Access, equity, and empowerment for underserved communities

We do this because no one should lose their child to something that could have been detected.

Because every heartbeat deserves to be protected.

Because Vari’s story should never be someone else’s.

This is why we Keep The Beat.
And this is why we need you with us.

🎶 Music Monday

This week’s CPR Beat:
“Just Dance” – Lady Gaga
119 beats per minute – perfect for Hands-Only CPR.

When someone’s heart stops, chest compressions should be done at 100–120 beats per minute. Press hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat!

Push hard. Push fast. Stay on beat.

An EKG may take just 10 minutes, but it can make a lifetime of difference.

Here’s what to expect during an EKG at our heart screening events:
✅ No pain
✅ No prep
✅ Just a few stickers and a few minutes to help protect your child’s heart.

Our next screening for current middle and high school students is around the corner, and we’re here to make the process simple, safe, and empowering. Interested? Register now using the link below!
