Cardiac arrest claims more lives than breast cancer, prostate cancer, influenza, auto accidents, firearms and house fires combined. At Gwyneth's Gift Foundation, we are working to provide specific practices that build and reinforce life-saving skills for those suffering from cardiac arrest.
We accomplish this through our programs of CPR & AED Training, AED Placement, our Scholarship Award and Awareness Program.
Performing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) on someone in sudden cardiac arrest can double or triple their chance of survival. We’re helping strengthen our communities out-of-hospital survival rates with Hands-Only CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Training events.
During a cardiac arrest, use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AEDs) will help restart your heart. Our team is committed to expanding access of AEDs by utilizing fundraising capabilities and partnerships to deploying devices across businesses and public facilities across the Commonwealth.
Gwyneth’s Gift Foundation awards graduating high school seniors a scholarship each year. These applicants best exemplify the virtues that most represent Gwyneth Griffin – compassion, service, leadership, determination, and acceptance. The Foundation has awarded nearly $60,000 in seven years to exceptional Stafford County High School Seniors.
Through Gwyneth’s Gift Foundation’s Awareness Program, we seek to partner with civic groups, local EMS, grassroots organizations, and private businesses to bring awareness of a bystander’s ability to save a life.
