Our Mission
Sudden Cardiac Arrest is a Silent Killer.
Far too often there are stories in the news of young people dying without any history of medical issues.

- Raise Awareness and Saving Lives – through active participation with local schools, churches, business and media outlets
- Education – coordinate CPR/AED classes and distribute educational pamphlets for area schools, churches, hospitals, and businesses
- Prevention– promote heart screenings for our teenagers (ages 13-22) state and nationwide
- Inspiration – encourage parents to become involved, schedule heart screenings for their teenagers, and support legislation requiring heart screening as part of student pre-participation physicals state and nationwide
- Providing Medical Equipment – donate Automated External Defibrillators (AED’s) in partnership with HeartSafe American, Inc. to needed facilities by on-line application process and meeting organization criteria
- Awarding Scholarships – selecting high school students who meet qualifications of the Living for Zachary scholarship as they pursue degrees in the healthcare industry and other careers relating to our mission.
