Do you know where the AED is at your child’s school, sports program, or youth organization? More importantly… do your kids, coaches, teachers, and staff know?

We’re joining Parent Heart Watch’s initiative and challenging YOU to find out! Take a photo or short video, help others learn where the AED is located, and enter for a chance to win a $200 gift card!

❤️ Find it.
❤️ Know where it is.
❤️ Make sure others know too.

Because in a cardiac emergency, every second matters.

Challenge ends October 31! Details on how to enter are below.

We were proud to participate in Revive and Survive, and assist with its goal to train 1 million San Diegians on how to do hands only CPR. Together with our amazing volunteers and school partners, we trained 10,000 children and their families members on hands on CPR and how to us an AED.

The Revive & Survive San Diego initiative reached its goal of training 1 million people in hands-only CPR, turning bystanders into lifesavers. Tim Winter’s collapse near Mission Beach and rescue by a bandmate shows why seconds matter — and how one CPR-trained person can change everything.

The return to school means the return to sports. Sports physicals do not include an EKG which is best way to catch heart abnormalities that cause sudden cardiac arrest. Sign your child up for our free screening - you won't regret it. https://epsavealife.org/get-screened/

Thank you, Susan DeCristofaro Rogers for introducing us to your students! It is always an honor to share our work with the next generation. We couldn't have asked for a more engaged and interested bunch!

Thank you, David Epstein for bringing awareness to sudden cardiac arrest and the devastation it leaves behind. Your determination to share with the broad audience that reads Sports Illustrated is remarkable!
