"2018 Campaign: Primary Prevention to Save a Life"
July 31, 2017, marked the 17th Angel Day for Anthony and then the first Cardiac Screening in his honor began in 2001 at Kansas State University, his college. By 2002, his mother, Sharon Bates, founded the Anthony Bates Foundation (ABF) in Phoenix, Arizona, with the first Cardiac Screening here in their hometown. Recently achieved by ABF, a milestone of over 13,500 youth, older siblings, parents and grandparents screened with over 1800 lives changed and/or saved. As well, ABF Teams across the USA have screened approximately 600,000 lives due to the ABF Community Screening Training program, continued to be overseen by Sharon Bates.
To continue these efforts we need contributors at all levels of giving so we forward the ABF mission. As we expand our mission to carryout primary prevention screenings, we look to expand our areas of service beyond Phoenix, Maricopa County, other areas in Arizona and surrounding states including Colorado, Utah, Nevada, California, as well as annually back to Kansas State University. The ABF Founder/CEO, Sharon Bates, has influenced programs in 40 states in the US and 12 countries: Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Iran, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Italy, Japan, and the UK.
This year plans are underway to reprint Sharon Bates’ Manual and Video: ‘How to Run a Community Screening’ with a Health Care Publisher. Sharon has been encouraged to write her story:’ A Life though Anthony – Sharon’s Story’ by Executive Director, Diane Breckenridge who is working with literary agents for publication and a true to life film project. Both Sharon and Diane have been invited to present regarding the Health Care Focus of Primary Prevention at numerous nursing and health care meetings including internationally in: Melbourne, Australia; Dublin, Ireland; and nationally in: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Las Vegas, Nevada; Dallas, Texas; Tampa, Florida; Indianapolis, Indiana; and San Diego, California.
