DomHeart21 Classic
The Annual DomHeart21 Classic is more than a game. Each year hundreds of student athletes come together ‘Ballin’ to Protect Young Hearts’. Started in 2011, the competition brings attention to SCA, the #1 killer among student athletes in the United States. The basketball program is designed to promote CPR/AED and SCA education, awareness and sports safety. All participants in the program from the referees, coaches, players, volunteer staff to the spectators are trained in CPR/AED life saving skills. The Foundation donates an AED to the championship teams to carry with them at all sports practices, games, travel and events.

The Dominic A. Murray Scholarship was created to educate and raise awareness on the impact of sudden cardiac arrest in youth and the importance of CPR/AED training. The scholarship is awarded to student-athletes who exemplify the same characteristics that Dominic Murray showed as a student, an athlete and a compassionate individual. The Foundation established the $2,100 scholarships at Dominic’s alma mater Monsignor McClancy Memorial HS and SUNY Farmingdale.
