Honoring a Legacy, Saving Lives: National Stay Cool Day 2027
This upcoming April 8th marks National Stay Cool Day, a vital campaign dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of exertional heat stroke in athletes and promoting life-saving prevention strategies. This year’s advocacy carries a deeply personal significance as we honor the memory of our founder, Eric Hasenyager, on what would have been his 49th birthday. A former football and baseball player, Eric made it his life’s mission to ensure no other athlete succumbed to preventable heat illness. Though he tragically passed away on April 22, 2026, shortly after turning 48, his fierce dedication to athlete safety lives on. This April 8th, we champion Eric’s mission: staying cool, staying educated, and protecting the players we love.
