CPR in Schools

Every hour in the U.S. approximately 38 people will have a cardiac arrest event outside of the hospital. 9 out of 10 people will not survive. However, if lifesaving CPR is performed, a victim's chance of surviving can double, and even triple.

CPR Training is a great educational addition to any Jump Rope For Heart (JRFH) or Hoops For Heart (HFH) event.
