The Matthew Mangine Jr. “One Shot” Foundation

06/16/2026

Today marks the 6-year anniversary of Matthew Mangine, Jr.’s passing. 💜 Matthew’s untimely death will never make sense, but our hope is that the work of this foundation – established to honor and remember Matthew – will prevent other families from experiencing a similar loss. Matthew’s jersey number was 5, so as we mark this day, please consider the following 5 ways to keep Matthew's legacy alive:

1️⃣ Learn CPR. Take a CPR class or watch an instructional video. Or, request a free hands-only CPR training for your workplace, church, school, or community group (https://www.oneshot.life/training-request-form/). Hands-on training gives you the confidence to act quickly and effectively in a cardiac emergency.

2️⃣ Know how to use an AED. Familiarize yourself with automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and how they work. Did you know that most devices have voice instructions to guide you? And that an AED will only deliver a shock if it detects that one is needed? Understanding the basics of how an AED works can help you act fast when every second counts.

3️⃣ Review Emergency Action Plans (EAP). Does your school, workplace, gym, or church have an EAP? Make sure you understand it, and if it includes use of an onsite AED, make sure you know where that AED is. If places you regularly frequent don’t have EAPs, advocate for them to be established and practiced regularly.

4️⃣ Donate to the One Shot Foundation. Whether it’s $5 or $50, your gift allows us to train more individuals on hands-only CPR, place more emergency medical equipment with schools and youth sports organizations, and educate more coaching staff and athletic trainers on the importance of Emergency Action Plans. https://www.oneshot.life/donate/

5️⃣ Save the Date. On November 14, we'll be celebrating Matthew's heavenly birthday at our annual One Shot Birthday Bash, and we'd love to have you join us! Tickets and more information are available at https://oneshot26.givesmart.com.

We love you, Matthew, and we miss you every day. 💜

Did we have an AED mascot at our golf outing last week? We did! ❤️💜 Could the volunteers taking turns wearing the costume stay upright and see out it? That’s… questionable. 🤨 But we did get a good laugh out of the situation! 🤣

Practice makes perfect! The more comfortable you are performing CPR and handling an AED, the more comfortable you'll be jumping into action in a cardiac emergency. Watching online tutorials is a great way to start, but hands-on training is best - and we can help! Fill out our online training form to request free, in-person training for your workplace, sports team, church, or neighborhood so that you're ready if you're needed. 💜

This National CPR and AED Awareness Week, we’re reminded that preparedness saves lives. According to the American Heart Association, about 90% of people who go into out-of-hospital cardiac arrest do not survive. Why? Because every second counts, and if CPR isn’t performed right away or an AED isn’t readily available, professional help may arrive too late. This week is a great time to commit to learning hands-only CPR. We call our program TAKE10 because that’s all it takes – 10 minutes to learn how to do chest compressions. Then, make sure you know where the AED is in your gym, workplace, children’s school, and anywhere else you and your loved ones spend time. Be ready to act in a medical emergency; you have one shot to save a life. 💜

It’s always a good day when we get to help place an AED into a space that’s frequently accessed by individuals of all ages. Cardiac arrest can occur at any age, so being prepared is key. ❤️‍🩹

Check out our new AEDs! A heartfelt thank you to the Preston Settles Memorial Fund, The Matthew Mangine Jr. “One Shot” Foundation, and ZOLL Medical for their incredible partnership in making this possible. As we recognize AED Awareness Week, this is a powerful reminder of how important it is to have accessible life-saving equipment and the impact it can have in an emergency.

Our foundation team is grateful to be the recipient of a $25,000 Boots on the Ground Fund grant awarded by Greater Cincinnati Foundation and the City of Cincinnati.

Our proposal focused on emergency preparedness for Cincinnati youth sports, and we can't wait to put this funding to good use protecting young athletes. Thank you, GCF and the City of Cincinnati, for this generous investment in our mission! 💜

⛳ Our One Shot Golf Outing might be sold out, but we have fun ways for you to still participate in it *and* support our mission:

1️⃣ Bid on incredible auction packages! That's right, we have 4 golf-themed auction packages that we're not holding for the Birthday Bash. The auction closes at 4:30PM on Monday, June 8, and you don't have to be at the outing to win - we can make arrangements for pick-up! Get in your opening bid at https://e.givesmart.com/events/MVC/i/_Auction/

2️⃣ Sign up as a virtual golfer! It's a great alternative if you missed out on securing a spot in this year's outing or the date just didn't work with your schedule. Choose the date, time, and course that works best for you, and then play a round in memory of Matthew. 💜 All virtual golfers will be recognized on social media and entered into a drawing for a swag bag and other goodies from this year's outing. https://e.givesmart.com/events/MVC/page/virtualgolf/

3️⃣ Volunteer at the outing! We still have a few volunteer spots that need to be filled. Spend the day with our foundation team on the green! 🏌🏼‍♀️ https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4FABA723A5FFC70-57267956-2026
