Calling All Everyday Heroes and Competitors
The 2024 Mayhem Athlete Everyday Hero Games is an online competition to honor the men and women who have taken an oath to protect, defend, and educate their country, state or city at all costs; those who have dedicated their lives to educating the next generation for a better future, and the medical professionals who are on the front lines of our hospitals, clinics, and doctors offices.
