Donations are gratefully accepted at each donation class. In general donations are used to pay for the supplies for each course. Those supplies include mannequin lungs, barrier devices, gloves, bandages, training equipment and AED pads. The instructor must also pay the training center to issue the CPR cards and the cards need to be mailed. A portion of the donations is also shared with Yoga by Donation for allowing us to use their space for the classes.
In addition some classes I will specify an organization that I will share donations with. This will be posted on the Eventbrite registration page and on the Coastal CPR & First Aid Facebook page. Those organizations can include the American Heart Association, food pantries and local non-profit or charitable organizations.
You do not have to take a course to support CPR by Donation or Training by Donation. Anyone can make a donation to help keep this program running.
