AED CONTEST
See our October 2023 AED Contest Page for rules and promotional resources. $10,000 in cash awards during Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month!
WELCOME TO THE PULSEPOINT SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST AWARENESS MONTH RESOURCE TOOLBOX
Here you will find ideas and resources to educate your citizens on Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), including the difference between SCA and a heart attack, and the important role of CPR, AEDs and PulsePoint in the community. Here are some ideas to get you started!
Coffee Sleeves
It’s pumpkin spice season! Leverage your community’s coffee habit by branding coffee sleeves to be distributed to area coffee shops featuring PulsePoint download information, details about SCA awareness month or local CPR training opportunities. We are happy to create the art template for you!
Sporting and Entertainment Venues
Is your community football crazy? Many professional, college and even high school teams have community marketing opportunities during games. Leverage public service nights, homecomings or other themed events to partner with them to increase awareness. Connect with your local movie theaters and ask about “First Look” or other pre-show marketing opportunities. They might even be willing to donate the time this October. Use one of our “in the can” PSAs!

October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month. Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at any age, at any time. Survival rates outside the hospital are dismal--less than 10%. This October learn CPR and download PulsePoint. Help save a life! #SCAAMonth
Become a lifesaver by learning CPR and downloading @pulsepoint this month when we celebrate Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness. Nolan was just 5 weeks old when his life was saved by a PulsePoint responder. #SCAAMonth
