The Chargers and Rams are feeling generous — to the benefit of Team Heal, a Los Angeles-based foundation, serves around high school football programs across the South Bay and Long 2,500 student-athletes at Banning, Dorsey, Carson, Crenshaw, Beach areas. and Westchester high schools. The two Los Angeles NFL teams will donate $50,000 each to the West Coast Sports Medicine Foundation and Team HEAL on Saturday, July 20, during a presentation at Mira Costa High School, in Manhattan Beach.
The founders of both Team HEAL and West Coast Sports Medicine Foundation will be on hand during the check presentation. Dr. Clarence Shields, a sports medicine orthopedic surgeon at Cedars-Sinai, is the founder of Team Heal. Dr. Keith Feder, medical director of the West Coast Center for Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, is the founder of West Coast Sports Medicine Foundation.
That money, part of the NFL Foundation’s Athletic Trainer Program, will help pay for full-time and part-time certified athletic trainers and other resources to high school football programs that lack them. The NFL Foundation will also donate a matching contribution of $100,000 toward the initiative. West Coast Sports Medicine Foundation, a Manhattan Beach research and education foundation, supports 23 schools — which serve around 13,000 students athletes — in Long Beach, Compton, Carson, Lawndale, Torrance, Hawthorne and elsewhere in the region.
The head athletic trainers for both the Chargers and Rams, as well as former players from each team, will speak to local students before the presentation. They will share with students their career experiences; the various roles and positions of an athletic training staff; and the importance of athletic training and fitness in both sports and life.

What to do when the earth actually starts to shake? An earthquake, even a big one, doesn’t have to be a death sentence. It’s important to be ready -- remembering a few basic things can help you avoid injury and even save your life. The first thing to commit to memory, according to the Southern California Earthquake Center and the United States Geological Survey is: “Drop, cover and hold on.” According to the Great ShakeOut, a program about earthquake drills that teaches people how to be safe when the earth starts to shake, “drop, cover and hold on” can prompt you to remember how to protect yourself in most situations. Generally, this means, the second you feel the jolt of an earthquake, “drop” to your knees to avoid being knocked down and be able to crawl to shelter. “Cover” means cover your head and neck with an arm and hand. Then, if you can, find a sturdy table or desk to crawl under. If you can’t find something to cover you that is sturdy, stay low and crawl to an interior wall. Stay low and bent over to cover and protect your internal organs.
You may not be inside or near a desk when an earthquake happens, however. Here are more things you should know about what to do in an earthquake, depending on where you are when it begins. What to do if you have a disability that prevents you from using “drop, cover and hold on”
“Hold on” means hold on to your shelter with one hand -- the other should still be protecting your head and neck. If you READ MORE—VISIT https:// carsonsouthbaycommunitynews.wordpress.com/2019/07/19/ have no shelter, protect your head and neck with both arms earthquake-preparedness-what-to-do-wherever-you-are-when-the and hands. -earth-starts-shaking/
