An anonymous donor must be having cardiac growing pain. This big-hearted donor gifted nearly $15,000 in CPR training kits for high schools in Illinois.
The Regional Superintendent accepted the 25 training kits and 25 Friends and Family kits to distribute to area schools.

Clearly, a very generous person or group understands the need for CPR to be taught. We applaud you.
Be a hero! Learn CPR.
