Success: CPR in Schools Bill Signed by Gov. Sandoval!
This year we continued our campaign to make Nevada the 38th State to require Hands-On CPR training before high school graduation. I am so excited to announce that our CPR in Schools bill (Assembly Bill 85) flew through the legislative process with bipartisan support. Governor Sandoval signed this lifesaving policy into law on May 15th, and this could not have been accomplished without the support of volunteers like you!

Wyoming students perform CPR they learned in school
When Powell High School Students, Aspen Aguirre, 16, and Josie Darrah, 15, landed in the Cayman Islands for their summer vacation, the last thing on their mind was school, or anything that they had learned in school for that matter.

PA Advocates in Action
On October 3 and 4, Pennsylvania advocates and key board members were in Harrisburg for a our first-ever Advocates in Action event. On the first day, the advocates brainstormed recruiting partner organizations, obtaining additional personal stories and recruiting new volunteers to support CPR in Schools and BreatheFree PA. In addition, there was an in-depth spokesperson training where attendees identified and developed answers to questions to help advocates have more of a comfort level when speaking with legislators, other advocates, and the general public.

90 Seconds Can Save a Life
We spend a lot of time talking about the importance of teaching high school students CPR before they graduate, but what if YOU are called on to give CPR in an emergency? You will most likely be trying to save the life of someone you love: your spouse, parent, child or friend.
