Raising Awareness So Others May Survice

aka The Travis Fund   |   Temecula, CA   |  www.thetravisfund.org

Mission

Our mission is to raise public awareness about Sudden Cardiac Arrest; to encourage at-risk people to have heart screenings; to encourage people to learn CPR and to raise funds for the placement of Automated External Defibrillators (AED's) in California schools and public facilities.

Notes from the nonprofit

Thank you for considering a donation to The Travis Fund. Our goal is quite simple - we want to make sure no other family suffers the terrible loss of a child from Sudden Cardiac Arrest the way we lost Travis.

Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Lack of Awareness that Sudden Cardiac Arrest is the leading cause of death nation-wide on school campuses and the subsequent lack of preparedeness (i.e., not having Automated External Defibrillators on campuses).

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goals are to:

1. Raise funds to place AED's in every school in California
2. Encourage at-risk individuals to have heart screenings
3. Raise awareness about Sudden Cardiac Arrest

1. Raise awareness about Sudden Cardiac Arrest through social and electronic media and speaking at public events and conferences.
2. Fund raising to place AED's in schools.
3. Partner with like-minded individuals and organizations to leverage abilities to raise awareness and funds for AED placements and CPR training.

1. Public speaking on Sudden Cardiac Arrest and the need for CPR training and the placement of AED's in all schools.
2. Awareness campaign via social media and radio interviews on all iHeart Media stations in Southern California.

1. To-date, 205 AED's placed in Riverside and San Diego County schools. Need to place at least 500 AED's.
2. Over 200 people trained in CPR. Need to train over 2,000.
3. Three AED saves on campuses where we placed AED's. Need to increase that tenfold.
