Have you ever wanted to do something to give back?
When I first began my business Coastal CPR & First Aid, LLC there were several people who really helped me by offering locations to teach at, lending me equipment, referring participants to my classes, and the list goes on. How do you thank those who helped you get started? Their pay-it-forward assistance made a difference in my business getting off the ground. And in return I’m continuing to pay-it-forward through Training by Donation and CPR by Donation.
These courses are offered accepting only free-will donations. I am not compensated for offering the courses. However there are a lot of out of pocket costs to run a class. I have to purchase all the disposable supplies – which includes disposable parts inside the mannequins to keep everything clean. Course completion cards have to be purchased and mailed out. And from time to time I have to replace larger or reusable equipment as it gets tired. It would be perfect if it cost nothing to hold a class, but we don’t live in a perfect world. Thus everyone is expected to make some sort of donation to help offset my out-of-pocket costs to hold the course and any additional donations are forwarded along to Yoga by Donation for the use of their studio or to a local organization. The classes aren’t free and your support of this program is greatly appreciated.
