COVID-19

Health and safety are at the core of our mission, and it is our duty to be proactive in reducing the spread of COVID-19 by following all federal, state, and CDC guidelines and mandates.

To this end, our athletic trainers are working with local high schools to continue in-person sports activities while also helping to prevent the spread of COVID. Sports competitions are currently on hold, but as long as youth have the opportunity to stay active and engaged in sports practices, our athletic trainers will be there protecting them.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please consider donating today. Your support, at any level, makes a difference to kids in Central Oregon and ensures that we can continue our mission to keep your young athlete safe. Thank you.

We LOVE to see young athletes participate in sports and stay ACTIVE, but sport injuries and CONCUSSIONS are sometimes unavoidable.

For this reason, The Center Foundation works with youth, schools, and parents to IMPROVE awareness, EDUCATE the community, and MANAGE concussions and other sports injuries properly. In fact, The Center Foundation and our certified athletic trainers are in eight local high schools across Central Oregon to SUPPORT families and young athletes – keeping kids safe in sports.
