Pay CPR Forward
With holidays in the not too distant future, have you considered working with a group of co-workers or friends to raise money for charity groups or organizations that rely on donations to survive? Perhaps, instead of more sweaters, and popcorn makers, that money could go toward CPR training for teachers at your local elementary school, or high school.
There are thousands of teachers in this country who are not trained in CPR. There are probably thousands more who work with people each day, but wouldn’t know how to use CPR to save their life.
The gift of life can be as simple as a donation. For instance, Ozark Technical Community College donated CPR training and an arterial defibrillator to a charity organization that assists about 50,000 people every year.
Believe it or not, they didn’t have the $2,250 they needed to purchase a piece of life-saving equipment, and many of the volunteers and workers did not have CPR training.
Be a hero and give the gift of life! Pay CPR forward.
