FREE CPR Training Event

During this event, we are going to offer a free CPR training. Our goals are to raise awareness about heart disease and give people the opportunity to learn how to save lives.

Sudden cardiac arrest claims one life every 90 seconds. African Americans are twice as likely to die after cardiac arrest, partly because they are less likely to receive CPR. Black children who live in poor neighborhoods are 41% less likely to get bystander CPR. Survival rates could double or triple if bystanders act by performing CPR. That's why we are planning a series of community events, including this CPR training event for February 24, 2023 that will be open to teens who want to become life savers.

100% of the funds raised will go to benefit the American Heart Association. At the end of the campaign (April 6, 2023), we will give away 12 amazing gifts to lucky donors. The gifts come from special places/people that can do both: make people fall in love with the city and promote heart health. You can see the gift list here
