Free AEDs for Schools

It's one of the best events in all of sport: March Madness. Everyone becomes an expert in bracketology, and all eyes are on the Road to the Final Four.

Did you know that male Division I basketball players are at the greatest risk of sudden cardiac arrest? They have a one in three thousand chance of experiencing it.

Every year, we highlight the stories of NCAA players and teams that have come face to face with cardiac arrest. We also engage in a little AED Madness and give away free AEDs to local youth facilities.

Partnering with our local NCAA schools – Temple, St. Joe's, Drexel, Penn and LaSalle - we promote awareness at a home game, and ask the fans to select the youth facility that will receive the free AED device.
