Thank you for celebrating Matthew’s birthday in this way, St. Joseph School - Crescent Springs, KY! 💜❤️

Today, October 13, marks what would have been Matthew’s 23rd birthday. For those who knew and loved Matthew, today is a reminder of the joy and laughter he brought into our lives, the people (and animals!) he loved so fiercely, and the bright future that was taken from him far too soon by sudden cardiac arrest.

Matthew’s birthday falls during Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month, making today an especially bittersweet reminder that a cardiac emergency can happen to anyone, at any age, and often without warning.

Through Matthew's namesake foundation, we work every day to honor Matthew's life by helping others recognize and respond to sudden cardiac arrest. By providing hands-only CPR training, increasing access to AEDs, and empowering everyday people with the confidence to take action, we hope to give more families something we didn't have... more time with the people they love.

On Matthew's heavenly 23rd birthday, we invite you to honor his life and carry his legacy forward with a gift to the foundation. Your generosity helps us place AEDs in our communities, train people of all ages in lifesaving skills, and ensure more people are prepared to act when every second matters.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps us turn heartbreak into hope and gives someone their One Shot to save a life.

Happy heavenly 23rd Birthday, Matthew. We love you. 💜

Our foundation team recently visited Saint Thomas School (Ft. Thomas, KY) to place an AED in the building and speak with students about how to use it in a cardiac emergency. ❤️‍🩹 Sudden cardiac arrest can happen anywhere and to anyone, regardless of age. Having an AED easily accessible is critical. So is having individuals who know where it is and know how easy it is to use - through voice prompts, the device walks you through exactly what to do.

We thank St. Thomas School Resource Officer Deputy Hampton, Principal Mrs. Huser, and Student Council for their safety-focused efforts and for working to make sure all students and staff know where the new AED is located. We're also grateful to the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels for the generous funding that made this donation possible. 💜

October is both National Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month ❤️ and Matthew’s birthday month. 💜 We’re touched that St. Joseph School - Crescent Springs, KY is choosing to celebrate Matthew and fundraise for our foundation’s mission with an out-of-uniform day on Matthew’s birthday, 10/13. Thank you, Cavaliers, for this support! 🫶🏼

October Awareness Day | Tuesday, October 13

This month, SJS is supporting the One Shot Foundation in memory of Matthew Mangine Jr. The foundation recently helped equip our faculty and staff with lifesaving emergency response skills, and its work helps schools and athletic programs prepare for medical emergencies.

On October 13, Matthew’s birthday, students may wear a purple or red top with out-of-uniform bottoms for a $1 donation. Please follow the handbook’s Awareness Day dress guidelines. Donations will support the foundation’s work with other schools and sports teams.

Our training team recently joined Kenton County School District at Camp ElevatED, the district’s professional development day for educators as they prepare for a new school year. We trained all participants in TAKE10 hands-only CPR and how to use an AED, and we also conducted train-the-trainer sessions with 13 participants so that they can further train students, staff, and others in their own schools. The impact this will have across the entire district is tremendous, and we’re grateful to KCSD for partnering with us to empower their educators with lifesaving skills and tools. We especially want to thank KCSD Director of Health Services Paula Rust and District-Wide Nurse Karla Allison for their instrumental roles in this training opportunity.

We’re also flattered to have received the Community Team Kenton Award at this month’s Kenton County Board of Education meeting, in recognition of our commitment to student and staff safety. We thank KCSD for this award and for helping us honor Matthew’s legacy by preparing others for their “one shot” to save a life. 💜

Our One Shot team had the honor of placing a ZOLL AED and AED cabinet at Northwest High School last week, creating a safer environment for students, staff, and visitors. Northwest's Athletic Trainer Annie Putnam shared, "This allows me and my sports medicine team to know there is an AED accessible at all times on campus."

The donation was made possible in part by the Boots on the Ground Fund grant we received earlier this year from the Greater Cincinnati Foundation and the City Of Cincinnati Government, as well as funding from the Elsa Heisel Sule Charitable Foundation. It truly is a team effort! 💜
