Seattle Soccer Celebration Youth Heart Screenings with Reign FC! This free event is for youths ages 12-18 for this Sunday, June 14th from 8-10 a.m. down at Pier 62 at the Seattle Waterfront.

Seattle Reign FC and goalkeeper Cassie Miller are partnering with the Nick of Time Foundation to provide free youth heart screenings during Seattle Soccer Celebration at Pier 62! These screenings help identify potential heart conditions that may put young people at risk for Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) and provide families with access to potentially life-saving preventative care.

In addition to a medical history review and EKG screening, participants will receive hands-on CPR training, equipping them with valuable emergency response skills. Before and after their screening, families are encouraged to hang out and enjoy Seattle Soccer Celebration, including Seattle Reign FC activities, interactive experiences, and waterfront festivities.

Advance registration is required as space is limited!
