According to the Heart Rhythm Society ,
more than 250,000 deaths occur each year as a result of Sudden Cardiac Arrest
(SCA). In fact, SCA claims one life every two minutes, taking more lives each
year than breast cancer, lung cancer or AIDS. To decrease this death toll,
Living for Zachary donates Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) to
qualified organizations in the community. This life-saving device plays a
crucial role in resuscitating someone that has collapsed due to SCA.
To apply for an AED donation complete the
application found on the AED area of the Living for Zachary website and return it to Mark Gonzales at mark@living4zachary.org or fax it to
972.478.5858. All applications are reviewed by our Donation Committee and
approved based on eligibility. Applicants will be notified by email of decision
within 45 days from date of submission.
Eligibility Requirements:
- Organization that works directly with youth ages 12-22 years old
- Organization that demonstrates a financial need for an AED
- Organization that exhibits a lack of AED coverage for the proposed facility
Approved applicants will receive the following equipment:
- (1) Automated External Defibrillator
- (1) Carrying Case
- (1) Long Life Battery
- (1) Adult Pads
- (1) Infant Child Pads
- (1) CPR Ready Kit
