Creating a Culture of Action

We’re helping build communities that are educated, confident and empowered to save the lives of individuals suffering from cardiac arrest.

A World Where Everyone Can Save A Life

Gwyneth’s Gift Foundation is dedicated to raising awareness of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). Certified through Guidestar, the Rappahannock United Way Local Government Campaign (LGC), and Commonwealth of Virginia Campaign (CVC), we provide specific practices that build and reinforce life-saving skills by training community members in Hands-Only CPR and placing AEDs in businesses and public facilities.

We hope that through our work, we can serve as a catalyst for increasing the survival rate of those suffering from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest because they received immediate life-saving measures from a member within their community.

Tiffany Kay

Training Manager

Tiffany serves as the Training Manager for Gwyneth’s Gift
Foundation, where she oversees the Training Program, AED Program, Scholarship Program, and Volunteer Program. A graduate with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and media communication, Tiffany spent five years as a morning
radio co-host and Academy of Country Music award winner, including three years with Fredericksburg’s own WFLS. Her time behind the mic allowed her to build meaningful relationships and strong community ties within Fredericksburg—an
area she’s proud to call home. 

Outside of her work at Gwyneth’s Gift, Tiffany is a dance teacher at MFA Studios in Locust Grove, where she shares her love of
dance with children and teens, instilling confidence, discipline, and creativity. Growing up a dancer herself, this role is especially close to her heart. Tiffany is also enjoying the exciting process of planning her wedding with her fiancé, preparing for their special day in October 2025. The couple resides in downtown Fredericksburg and, when not planning their wedding, can be
found exploring new places, attending concerts, and cherishing time with family and friends.
