Message from the Executive Director We have had an extraordinary 2023 with our AED Access program placing close to 100 AEDs in underserved communities while providing free CPR and AED education to more than C3000 learners. We are the only non-profit dedicated to delivering free AEDs to underserved communities in conjunction with the education needed to save lives. In 2024 we have set a goal to deliver 250 AEDs into underserved communities and we are only held back by the financial resources to support our efforts. Tuesday, November 28th is ‘Giving Tuesday’ and we are aiming to raise $10,000 towards our 2024 campaign. Please consider donating We are a 501-c-3 non-profit, thus all donations may be tax deductible. Thank you, Jack Perkins, MD |

We are looking for volunteer instructors! No certification required to instruct- we only ask that you complete a brief training on our website (a few short videos and a quiz).
What to expect: As a volunteer, you will help with hands-on practice in small groups with CPR manikins and AED trainers. All volunteers receive free Compress & Shock t-shirts and a 35% discount off an AED, if you wish to purchase one for home or a business! Each class you teach is approximately a 2 hour time commitment.
We anticipate robust class attendance as each site has committed to providing 35 + learners per class to receive the free AED.
