The time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place,
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.

Today, the road all runners come,
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town...
"To an Athlete Dying Young"

The Chad Foundation To Provide Preventive Cardiac Screenings for Young Harlem Athletes


Chad goes to Austria and Sweden- Heart screenings for the Homeless


New web site coming soon! Check back in a few weeks for the redesigned Chad Foundation Site.


The Chad Foundation For Athletes And Artists was established in memory of Chad Alan Butrum, who died suddenly at age 26 during a football game, because of an undetected heart disease. We have developed this site to provide a resource not only for the Foundation, but for parents and others who are affected by heart diseases in children. Our immediate goal is to promote early diagnosis of heart disease and heart muscle abnormalities, so that sudden heart failure can be prevented and the condition be treated if found. The Chad Foundation was also established to support projects in athletics and the arts, which promote the lifestyle and ideals which Chad celebrated during his life. 

If you are unfamiliar with The Chad Foundation, please read Chad's Story and our Mission Statement, and find out about recent activities, including Free Echocardiogram Screenings sponsored by The Chad Foundation.

Find out about the Board Members, some of our Future Projects, our affiliation with Childrens Hospital Los Angeles Heart Center, and how you can make a direct contribution to the Foundation.
