Description

My name is Donna Meister, I am going into my second season of being treasurer for the Bradford Youth Raptors program. Our program is the only youth football program in Bradford, PA. We currently have 74 kids registered for football and 76 kids registered for cheerleading for our upcoming season. A total of 150 kids! Our programs are mascots, flag, peewee and midget. We have excellent success with kids signing up for our league. We have two locations where we will be practicing and to ensure the safety of our Raptors, we need your help! Last year we were so graciously awarded an AED, but we need another one. Our children are our most precious resource. Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, including young athletes. Immediate access to an AED can mean the difference between life and death. We are launching this fundraising campaign to purchase an AED for our second location, ensuring that we are prepared to act quickly in case of an emergency involving our youth. Your generous donation can help us achieve this life-saving goal. Children are active and energetic, but sudden cardiac arrest can still occur unexpectedly. An AED is a crucial device that can restore a normal heart rhythm in young victims of sudden cardiac arrest. Having an AED readily available at sports events, and practices can significantly increase the chances of survival and provide peace of mind for parents and guardians. Our community’s youth are constantly participating in various activities, from practices to sports competitions. We aim to carry an AED, where many children and adolescents gather several times weekly. This will ensure that we are prepared to handle emergencies swiftly and effectively.

We deeply appreciate your support and generosity. Your monetary donation not only helps us purchase an AED but also reinforces our commitment to the safety and well-being of our children!
