More Than a Fundraiser
Growing up, many of us remember selling chocolate bars for school fundraisers. We would knock on doors, sell hundreds of candy bars, and work toward earning prizes. It taught us confidence, responsibility, communication, and the value of hard work.
Athletes Have Heart takes that same proven concept and transforms it into something much bigger. Instead of earning a small prize, ambassadors build real entrepreneurial skills, earn commissions, develop leadership abilities, and become advocates for heart health in their communities. This isn't just fundraising — it's youth entrepreneurship with purpose.
How the Program Works
Every participant receives their own secure online Ambassador Dashboard, including:
- A personal fundraising page
- Their own referral link
- Their own QR code
- Sales tracking
- Leaderboard rankings
- Commission tracking
- Training resources
- Personal goals
- Achievement badges
When supporters purchase bracelets using an ambassador's page or referral link:
- 1Athletes Have Heart securely processes the order.
- 2Athletes Have Heart collects payment.
- 3Athletes Have Heart ships the bracelets directly to the supporter.
- 4The ambassador never handles money.
- 5The ambassador never handles inventory.
- 6The ambassador automatically receives fundraising and commission credit through their dashboard.
This allows young people to focus on learning, leading, and sharing the mission instead of worrying about collecting money or delivering products.

We want every ambassador to leave this program with more confidence than they had when they started.
Friendly Competition
Success should be celebrated. Our program includes leaderboards, recognition, and incentive challenges for bracelets shared, awareness raised, community impact, leadership, personal growth, team achievements, and fundraising milestones. Competition should inspire — not divide — and we celebrate effort just as much as results.
Open to Everyone
Whether you're a kindergarten student, a middle school athlete, a high school student, a college athlete, a parent, a coach, a teacher, a youth group, a business owner, or someone who's 105 years old and simply wants to support a meaningful mission — there is a place for you.
You don't have to be an athlete to become an Athletes Have Heart Ambassador. You simply have to believe that young people can make a difference.
