In accepting the CPR training unit, GECAC said that the organization plans to train many more people each year.

 

Since the NADA Foundation’s Medical Grants program began in 1975, more than 4,600 CPR training units with a value of about $3 million have been donated to organizations in all 50 states and Washington D.C.  In addition, more than 2 million people have been trained on CPR units donated by car dealers.

 

The NADA Foundation, established in 1975, is the philanthropic arm of the National Automobile Dealers Association.  Funds contributed by new car and truck dealers and friends of the industry provide financial support to schools, private colleges and universities, emergency disaster relief and other community service programs.  For more information, visit www.nada.org/charitablefoundation.

The training program of the Greater Erie Community Action Committee  was greatly enhanced when Bianchi Honda, in partnership with the National Automobile Dealers Charitable Foundation, presented a Little Anne AED Training System.

 

The CPR training is important because it teaches a person how to keep a heart beating while waiting for professional help to arrive.  If the right kind of treatment can be administered to a victim within seconds after he or she is stricken, it increases the chances of saving a life.  

 

There has been an increase in the number of survivors from ventricular defibrillation as a  result of increased CPR training across the country.  The training typically takes 3-5 hours of intensive practice and lectures.
