October 2023 Newsletter

October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month

October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month. Our non-profit works to educate the public on the importance of AEDs, CPR, and Sudden Cardiac Arrest. We sincerely feel that the placement of Outdoor AED Smart-monitored Cabinets, as well as our education program, are critical in improving the outcomes of Sudden Cardiac Arrest occurrences. Our objective is to make AEDs available to the public and to educate communities about their usefulness. Please use the month of October to stay aware of AEDs in your area, what to do in the event of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest, to stay current on CPR/AED training, and to help get more AEDs placed in public. 

Reach out to us at info@advocates4health.org to learn more about getting an Outdoor AED and training in your community.

The File of Life Donation Campaign

As a nonprofit, we need your help to fund our mission and save more lives! We want to raise more money to continue placing more Outdoor AED Smart Monitored cabinets and bring more life-saving initiatives to life. We are holding our File of Life campaign for the rest of the year. Pictured below is a File of Life that gets placed inside your home. You fill out your medical history and place it in an easily accessible area. This file is for emergency responders to get information quickly in an emergency. It can also be helpful for family and friends to access in an emergency when dialing 911.

For every $25 donation, we will send you 2 Files of Life.

*Please use the donate button below and donate through the secure GiveMN site. Once your donation is complete please fill out the Information Survey so we can send the File of Lives to the correct address.
