Our initiatives
Hands-on training that builds real confidence.
Bystander CPR and early defibrillation are two of the strongest links in the chain of survival. Project PULSE organizes training sessions, run with certified instructors, that walk people through spotting a cardiac arrest, calling for help, doing solid chest compressions, and using an AED.
One day a year to move the whole community forward.
World Heart Day is the day we build the year around. We use it to get students, families, and local organizations in one place around a single idea: being ready saves lives. The day can include an awareness campaign, hands-on demo stations, guest speakers, and a chance to sign up for training on the spot.
Learning directly from the people who were there.
Statistics explain the problem. Stories explain why it matters. These panels put survivors and their families in the same room as physicians, nurses, and first responders, so the audience gets an honest picture of sudden cardiac arrest and what a prepared bystander can actually do.
Knowing where the AEDs are, and whether they are ready.
An AED only helps if people can find it and it works. Our volunteers walk community spaces to map the AEDs that are already there, note the signage and how easy each one is to reach, and report units that look expired or neglected to whoever owns them. Where coverage is thin, we help make the case for adding one.
Turning local support into equipment that saves lives.
Training and equipment cost money. Project PULSE runs student-led fundraising, with open books, so we can lower the cost of training sessions, buy manikins and AED trainers, and support AED access in spaces that would otherwise go without.
Pick the one that fits you best, or help with all five.
