Times:1:30 PM
Address:

Portsmouth, NH
Description:
Help us kick off National CPR and AED Awareness Week and learn how to save a life!
Come learn Adult, Child & Infant CPR; how to use an AED and what to do if someone is choking.
CPR by Donation is a regular CPR course, except it is offered accepting Free Will Donations to cover the cost to the instructor to offer the course. The same skills are learned and practiced. Course completion cards, aka the "CPR card" is mailed out after successful course completion.
What makes this course different are that there are no set fees to attend. However keep in mind that there are expenses to the instructor. There are disposable supplies that must be purchased and discarded after each class; such as mannequin lungs, barrier devices, training equipment and AED pads. The instructor must also pay the AHA training center to issue the CPR cards and the cards need to be mailed. Please consider these expenses when making your donation for the course. Course textbooks are optional and will be available for sale at the class.
Donations are gratefully accepted at the start and end of the course. Online Donations can be made at http://coastalcpr.com/CBD.html.
A CPR/AED or First Aid course is offered every other month at Yoga by Donation.
At some classes a local organization is chosen as a recipient of a portion of the donations received. A portion of the donations are also shared with Yoga by Donation for their generosity in providing studio space to hold these classes and to help them continue to offer donation based yoga programs to the Seacoast.
