After you have convinced the powers that be that the benefits of a Zoll AED Plus program are worth the effort you may see the whole community rally around the cause. It is true that heart attacks strike younger children less often than other age groups it does happen. The saddest part is that death in this situation is so highly preventable. All that is required is for the school to have access to a Zoll AED Plus.
Too often, emergency medical staff cannot make it in time to save the life of the person who is having a heart attack. The patient is sadly already clinically deceased as soon as they enter cardiac arrest and without immediate action, there is a slim chance of survival. This will happen a lot less often if a Zoll AED Plus is at hand. This is especially true during school athletic practices and events, since most cases will occur in young children during strenuous activity. The one objection that you will likely find on any school campus will be in the area of funds.
Some schools maybe in the black and have the funds readily available; however that will likely be the exception and not the rule. In most cases, you will have to go outside the school to get the money. This is where the community comes in, have bake sales, raffles and any other type of fundraiser you can think of.
Do not hesitate to look to civic organizations and physicians for assistance. Doctors will be especially cognizant of the benefits of a Zoll AED Plus program. Make sure the word is spread about what you are doing, place flyers and ads in the local paper. When the public is aware of what and why they will be more inclined to contribute.
Look to your local businesses for contributions and space to place donation boxes. Some large companies have a commitment to contributing so much annually to the community in which they do business. When making donation boxes remember they do not have to be fancy, a jar or box with a photo of the needed equipment will do just fine. Other possible contributors would be fraternal organizations like the Rotary, Kiwanis and so forth. Any person or organization that makes up a part of the community is fair game.
Plus many of these are looking for areas to contribute to anyway and what is more worthy than a potentially life saving device like a Zoll AED Plus? Besides the members of these clubs are likely parents or grand parents of current or future students and will be interested in anything that keeps them safer. Bring your community together and you will have no problems pulling together the funds for a Zoll AED Plus program for your school.
