From 5 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 18, you can help Mended Hearts just by enjoying a meal at Culver’s, 557 Westfield Road, Noblesville. Funds raised will be used to purchase Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) to be placed in churches and other non-profits.
In 2015, there were 366,807 Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) deaths in America, which is about 1,000 per day.
Untreated, the survival rate is less than 5 percent, but the survival rate goes up to 90 percent when an AED is used within the first minute. When an AED is used within five minutes, 30 to 50 percent of SCA victims survive.
Come and support an important cause and enjoy Culver’s delicious food – it may even be delivered to your table by Mended Hearts members.
