Survival rate when an AED is used in the first minutes
Every year, sudden cardiac arrest kills over 356,000 Americans, including 23,000 kids. In California, survival is just 8.7%. We're changing that, one school at a time.
Mission

Every student, three facts.

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, and in California, only 8.7% of victims survive. When an AED is used in the first few minutes, survival can jump to 90%. Our mission is simple: teach every student what an AED is, where to find one, and how to use it, because that knowledge could someday save a classmate, a coach, or a stranger.

Directory

Find the AED at your school.

We're building a searchable directory of AED locations, school by school.

Want your school listed first? Sign up as an ambassador and help us map it.

You don't need to be a doctor to save a life. You need three things: know what an AED is, know where it's kept, and know that turning it on and following the prompts is all it takes. Help us bring this training to every student, in every school, before it's too late to matter.
