    Two organizations provide low-cost heart screenings in South Carolina:

    * A Heart For Sports foundation: The California-based organization has
    performed screenings across the nation, including five in South Carolina since
    Oct. 2003. The student-athlete's cost for the screening procedure ranges from
    free of charge to $50, depending on the situation. Patricia Sims is the
    organization's contact in South Carolina.

    * Athletes For Life: Operated locally by Columbia's Don Bundrick, this
    organization offers heart screenings, including electrocardiograms and
    echocardiograms, for $50 per child. Payment plans are available for anyone
    unable to pay at the time of the screening. The organization has performed
    screenings at Brookland-Cayce, Airport and Gilbert high schools.
