LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Louisville organization focused on creating a better world for our children is expanding its efforts into Nashville, Tennessee.
According to a press release, 2X Game Changers is partnering with Vanderbilt University Medical Center, its School of Medicine, and community organizations in Tennessee called "Stronger Than My Father" and "ATF Nashville".
This Louisville-born organization promotes early childhood education, parental involvement, supports victims of gun violence, advocates for peace and justice, and works to bring hope and healing to the community.
2X Game Changers partnered with UofL Health and UofL's School of Medicine nearly two years ago. That partnership made their "Future Healers" program possible.
Children in Nashville between the ages of 4 and 13 will now have the opportunity to feel the joy of healing people and being connected to the health sciences.
Christopher 2X, founder of Game Changers, said he hopes the kids walk away with an invaluable lesson.
"If somebody is out there hurting somebody, you all are in a special place, because you are with the responders trying to heal and help people and now you become healers," 2X said. "When people are hurting people, you can project that image to your peer group."
The week after Memorial Day Weekend, representatives with 2X Game Changers, medical students and UofL surgeons will travel to Nashville to finalize what will be "Future Healers Nashville", according to the release.
