ITS OUR 14TH ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF AIDANS LEGACY!

Thank you for being part of this special cause and helping us celebrate Aidans legacy and the accomplishments that have been made in the mission to end preventable sudden cardiac death in youth. We've been busy training our community members in CPR+AED skills, empowering our youth as CPR Instructors and training facilitators, and making sure our schools have comprehensive cardiac safety plans in place. Recently, our advocacy efforts helped pass a new state law - Act 17 - to provide funding and increased guidelines for PA schools regarding AED placement, CPR training for staff and safety planning. We've been busy! And, like every grassroots advocacy organization, we need your help to keep our mission strong!

This year, for our annual flagship event, were asking you to do more than join us. Fundraise with us and help carry our mission forward.

When you register, create your own fundraising page and invite your friends, family, coworkers, and community to support you. Set a goal, share why Aidans Heart matters to you, and rally your people around a mission that saves young lives.

Not running or walking? You can still fundraise! You dont have to participate in the 5K to create a fundraiser, build a Fundraising Team, or support someone elses campaign.

Every dollar raised helps Aidans Heart provide CPR & AED training, place lifesaving AEDs, screen young hearts, and help communities become better prepared to respond to sudden cardiac arrest. Together, we can make this 5K about more than one daywe can help keep Aidans legacy and this lifesaving work going strong for years to come.

Every fundraiserand every giftadds up. Create your page. Rally your people. Make an impact. Whether you raise $50, $500, or $5,000, youre helping turn Aidans legacy into actionand helping Aidans Heart continue saving young lives for years to come.
