CPR AED Grant Received!

The National Automobile Dealers Charitable Foundation has presented the Glen Lake Fire Department with a new Resusci-Anne manikin and AED training system which teaches cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills and how to properly use automated external defibrillators – an AED.   The Glen Lake Fire Department has partnered with the Bill Marsh Auto Group of Traverse City to apply for the donation. 

Since its inception in 1975, the NADA Foundation fund has given more than 4,100 training units in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., for a total donation of more than $2.3 million in grants.  More than 1.9 million people have been trained on Foundation-donated CPR manikins, and countless lives have been saved.  The Glen Lake Fire Department trains over 100 people annually in these important life-saving skills.

The NADA Foundation, the philanthropic arm of NADA, is a non-profit organization that supports a wide variety of charities and causes, including Canine Companions for Independence. The NADA Foundation provides grants to colleges and universities and academic scholarships to students, and includes the Ambassadors program, a CPR manikin donation program and an Emergency Disaster Relief fund for dealership employees.
