Grants
HeartSmart, Inc. sponsors and
serves on the advisory boards for two non-profit foundations that
raise funding to help schools and athletic facilities all over
Colorado implement an AED with onsite trained responders. To date,
over 90 AEDs have been placed statewide including at Boulder Indoor
Soccer, Superior Ice Rink, Gold Crown Facility, Jefferson County
Schools, Falcon/Co.Springs Schools, Pueblo City Schools, Windsor
Schools, Granada Schools, Colorado Rush Soccer Club, and Adams 12
Schools just to name a few. Below is an overview of both Foundations
and the process for applying for an AED donation. In April
2008, the Dan Lunger (see below) memorial unit saved the life of a
17 year old student at the same high school that he attended. In
July 2011, another one of our donated units saved the life of a 55
year old soccer referee at a tournament in a suburb of Denver.
KICK START MY HEART FOUNDATION
Boulder based, Kick Start My
Heart was founded by a group of English born soccer players.
Beginning in 2005, the Foundation has sponsored an annual
Soccer-Thon where all the proceeds from team registrations go back
to the Foundation to help school and/or teams subsidize their AED
package. |

Stanley Lake High School in Westminster, Co. who in August 2006,
