Mentoring the Next Generation
Community Programs
From McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, to the NFL, Damar’s journey is rooted in hard work, resilience and a community that believed in him. He knows firsthand how vital mentorship, education and opportunity can be in shaping a young person’s future.
That’s why the Foundation invests in the next generation through a range of community programs and events.
Mastering CPR
The Chasing M’s CPR Tour
Every second matters when cardiac arrest strikes. Without immediate CPR, the chances of survival drop 10% each minute. Damar is living proof that quick action saves lives. He’s on a mission to make sure others are ready when seconds count.
Launched in 2023, the Chasing M’s CPR Tour is a global initiative equipping people with hands-only CPR skills and access to AEDs.

Chasing M’s Heroes Scholarships
CINCINNATI
On January 2, 2024, Damar acknowledged the one-year mark of his cardiac arrest by launching a new scholarship program for youth in Cincinnati, to give back to the City that had help care for him. The scholarship recognized and honored the ten individuals who helped save Damar’s life. The focus of the Chasing M’s Heroes Scholarship is to help these youth explore what comes next, whether that means college or trade school, as they find their journey.

On January 2, 2025, Damar expanded his scholarship program to honor the training staff of the Buffalo Bills. The Buffalo Heroes Scholarship will support underserved high school seniors and college-bound students who attend Buffalo-area schools.
