 The Reviving
Hearts Program:
 Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of death in
the United States with a death occurring every two minutes or
over 650 SCA-related deaths each day. SCA occurs abruptly and
without warning and two-thirds of SCA deaths occur in people
without any prior indications of heart disease. To have a chance
of surviving, victims of SCA must receive a life-saving
defibrillation within the first 4- 6 minutes when brain damage
starts to occur. Automated Electronic Defibrillators (AEDs )
can increase the survival rate for SCA up to 90% by delivering a
shock within the first few minutes of an attack. Ask any family
member or parent whose loved one or child has died from SCA and
they will say three letters might have saved their loved one’s
life…AED.
Beginning in 2008 and for the next five years, the annual
Dining A La Heart Fundraiser will benefit The Reviving Hearts
Program, sponsored by the Cardiovascular Research and Education
Foundation of Indiana, Inc. (CREFI). We will be focusing on
placing AEDs in high schools throughout central Indiana where
hundreds of lives could be saved. For every $2500 we raise one
AED with training and follow up procedures can be placed in a
local high school. Our goal is to place 400 AEDs in the next
five years.
To date,
we have placed 35 AEDs in area high schools and need your
support to continue to offer this life-saving gift to
Indiana high schools.
