A young athlete, seemingly perfectly healthy and strong, dies sud- denly at a practice or competition. The autopsy reveals a heart problem was the cause of death. Former Detroit Lions great Charlie Sanders is taking a proactive approach to prevent more tragedies. His not-for- profit foundation is raising funds so male and female athletes ages 14-18 can be screened for undetected heart conditions before they practice or compete. "It's time to stop play- ing Russian roulette with young athletes:' Sanders said. "Most (required) physicals for student-athletes don't include heart checks and some fami- lies can't afford them:' He said a recent screening of 75 Detroit Police Athletic League athletes done through his foundation found three with heart conditions. The major fundraiser for Sanders' foundation is the annual Have A Heart Save A Life celebrity golf outing. The third annual event will be held June 2 at Knollwood Country Club in West Bloomfield. The outing committee includes David Levine, Jarrett Levine, Andrew Barbas, Alan Harvith and Jeff Sakwa from the Jewish community. Bill Keenist, the Lions' senior vice presi- dent of communications, also is on the committee along with Sanders. "It was easy to get involved. This is a tremendous cause:' David Levine said. After raising more than $40,000 the first year and more than $60,000 the second year, this year's outing goal is more than $125,000. "It costs about $8 for a heart screen- ing, so you can see how far the money goes:' Sanders said. All the spots to play golf with the impressive list of celebrities Sanders has rounded up were sold out three months ago. A dozen fivesomes in the nine-hole morning round and 34 five- somes in the 18-hole afternoon round are filled. But there's still time to sign up for dinner ($200) or dinner and use of Knollwood's pool, tennis courts and saunas during the afternoon ($250). Go to www.haveaheartsavealife.org. The deadline is May 30. Sponsorship opportunities also are available. Among the celebrities who will play golf or make appearances at the outing are Lions stars Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson, Ndamukong Suh, Reggie Bush and Golden Tate; Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo and football coach Mark Dantonio; former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka; former Detroit Mayor Dave Bing; ex-Pitts- burgh Steelers great Mean Joe Greene; and several former Lions and Detroit Tigers. The Lions' 2014 draft choices and rookie free agents will be introduced at the dinner that follows golf. FOX 2 Detroit will broad- cast a telethon hosted by sportscaster Dan Miller from 6:15-7 p.m. at the outing, and there will be a silent auction of sports memorabilia. To demonstrate the purpose of the day, Oak Park High School athletes will undergo heart screenings. Sanders, 67, was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 2007. He was honored last year by the Michigan Jewish Sports Foundation with its Alvin Foon Humanitarian Award. It's Softball Season Play ball!
