AED Donation & Last Call for Sweet Hearts Ball!!
3 Philips AEDs donated by local company, Gilead
As a direct result of our recent radio interview with KGNU, Kick Start My Heart today received a wonderful donation of 3 Philips HeartStart AEDs from local company, Gilead Colorado, Inc. in Westminster.
Environmental Health & Safety Manager, Jen Wingard listened to the KGNU interview and chose our foundation as the perfect home for their 3 AED units. The AEDs were in need of a new home due to company plans to relocate their operations to California.
