The Hescock Family founded the Win the Day Foundation to provide critical resources and financial assistance to families of youth stricken by Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) and to work with schools and the athletic community to ensure that preventive measures and screenings decrease the number of youth and young adults impacted by cardiovascular health.
In partnership with In A Heartbeat, a not-for-profit organization working to prevent sudden cardiac death in youth, The Win the Day Foundation provided its first free heart screenings at Taconic high school in October, 2024. 100 local youth were tested. The JH Win The Day Foundation was able to cover the $4000.00 fee for the equipment needed for the screenings.
In November, 2024, Who We Play For, a not-for-profit organization in Florida shared the story of 14-year-old, Jahkye Haylet from Bloomfield CT who tragically passed away on the football field during practice. The JH Win The Day Foundation provided his mother, Stacey, with a check for $3500.00 to help assist with burial services.
AJ Riello, a 14-year-old freshman at Pittsfield High School suffered a cardiac event in February, 2025. He was airlifted to Children’s Hospital in Boston. In March of 2025, AJ received a heart transplant. The JH Win The Day Foundation presented the family with a $2000.00 check to help with necessary finances.
Three local high school football players from Pittsfield High School, Taconic, and Wahconah received checks for $2000.00 each to help with supplies needed for college.
