Question 1

Why the 1st Saturday in June and 3rd Sunday in October?

Accepted Answer

Every 1st Saturday in June is our "CPR and AED Education Day". This compliments CPR and AED Awareness Week. Our organization kicks off this week with our free education and AED Access Program. We support a smaller event each 3rd Sunday in October to celebrate "World Restart a Heart Day" and try to focus on non-English languages.

Question 2

What if I can’t host a class on the 1st Saturday in June or 3rd Sunday in October?

Accepted Answer

We are happy to discuss other dates for training as this will depend on our ability to recruit volunteer instructors in your community. Please contact us!

Question 3

Can you further define "underserved community”? What are the details of collaboration with that community?

Accepted Answer

Any community that aligns with our mission statement (see website homepage) is desirable. Many communities throughout the country are underserved (minorities, rural, non-English language, inadequate access to healthcare education, etc.) and we welcome you to contact us and ask any questions so that we can work together towards a training and potential AED donation.

Question 4

What does my monetary donation support?

Accepted Answer

Although the ability to save a life is priceless, the retail cost of each donated AED is $900. We also purchase AED manikins and trainers to staff each site with the equipment needed to educate our learners. Although our instructors are volunteers, there is still considerable expense in planning for and supporting each training. Any donation is appreciated!
