The St. Amant High School Sports Medicine Team is incredibly grateful to the Remy Hidalgo Memorial Foundation for their generous donation of a Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) unit and a cold-water immersion tub to our athletic department. These lifesaving resources will help us better monitor environmental conditions and respond quickly to heat-related emergencies during the hot Louisiana months, practices, and outdoor events.
The mission of the Remy Hidalgo Memorial Foundation is to prevent heatstroke tragedies by equipping Louisiana schools with lifesaving heat-monitoring devices and cold-water immersion tubs, while raising awareness about the dangers of exertional heat illness.
Remy Hidalgo was a beloved 16-year-old junior at Denham Springs High School, where he was a member of the football and powerlifting teams. He was known for his kind heart, infectious personality, and dream of playing college football. In September of 2020, Remy collapsed following a hot football practice after suffering an exertional heat stroke. Despite receiving emergency medical care, he tragically passed away.
Following Remy’s passing, his mother, Ashley Roberson, established the Remy Hidalgo Memorial Foundation to help ensure that another family would not have to experience the same tragedy. His legacy has also helped inspire stronger heat-safety protections for student-athletes across Louisiana, including the Remy Hidalgo Act. A special thanks to Scott Arceneaux, long-time Head Athletic Trainer at St. Amant, for being a huge part of passing this Act. We are honored to be one of the many Louisiana schools carrying Remy’s legacy forward.
Thank you to the Remy Hidalgo Memorial Foundation for all that you do for Louisiana student-athletes and communities across our state. Your generosity truly makes a difference.
