The Aliver Foundation, in partnership with the City of Brainerd, will host a family-friendly community celebration event at Bane Park on Friday, July 17th from 5:30pm-6:30pm to dedicate highly visible, bright yellow, all-weather, climate-controlled outdoor AED equipment.
The event will offer something for all ages, including children’s activities, opportunities to meet first responders from the Brainerd Police Department and Brainerd Fire Department, a touch-a-truck featuring emergency response vehicles, and an interactive CPR/AED demonstration by Investigator Personius of the Brainerd Police Department. Community members are encouraged to attend, learn more about The Aliver Foundation, and see the outdoor AED equipment placed by the ice hockey rink at Bane Park.
“Family is the most important part of any community. We love seeing our residents out and active, but we must prioritize their safety. Having life-saving equipment like an outdoor AED in place is absolutely crucial. When tragedy strikes, these devices buy precious time. By making AEDs accessible, we protect our loved ones and ensure our active community remains a safe one,” said Mayor Dave Badeaux.
The Aliver Foundation raises awareness and funds to place outdoor AED equipment in recreation spaces while also providing crucial resources and educational opportunities to individuals and communities. Its goal is simple: to save lives and help hearts by increasing the number of highly visible, bright yellow, all-weather, climate-controlled AED equipment bundles in outdoor recreation spaces; educating about cardiac arrest, CPR, AED usage, and the difference between sudden cardiac arrest and heart attacks; and offering resources and support to sudden cardiac arrest survivors and their loved ones.
Founded in January 2024, The Aliver Foundation has helped place nearly 160 outdoor AED equipment bundles in public recreation spaces and is currently working with community partners in more than twelve states. Each outdoor AED equipment bundle The Aliver Foundation places costs $2,500 and consists of a CE TEK 4000 outdoor AED enclosure and Stryker AED. Once funding is secured, the Foundation identifies a new community, works with its First Responder Committee to identify an appropriate public recreation space, and engages with the municipality to facilitate the donation.
