What it reported doing in 2024

CPR Classes - In 2024, our non-profit organization proudly achieved significant milestones through our CPR training program. We successfully trained and equipped participants, with essential life-saving skills that not only enhance their personal capabilities, but also contribute to the overall safety of our community. Over the course of 248 combined class hours, students learned how critical it is to be ready and act decisively in emergencies, to potentially save lives. Our commitment to accessibility in education and training, saved participants a remarkable $3,760. By offering affordable CPR classes, we are encouraging greater participation and creating a more prepared community. Every trained individual represents a potential first responder, capable of making a difference in moments of crisis. This program exemplifies our mission to serve the community by promoting personal growth and professional readiness through essential skills development.
