Saturday, November 16:
DEI and CPR Day
| |
|
At the Community Foundation, we proudly embrace Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as fundamental pillars of our work!
Join us in our journey toward creating a more equitable society by listening to the "All Things Equal" show featuring our very own, Chief Equity and Community Engagement Officer, Gloria Coicou.
Gloria is a passionate advocate for cultural diversity and is dedicated to implementing DEI practices within our foundation.
This will be posted on Saturday!

Join us at 12pm for a hands-only CPR training session with the American Red Cross. What to expect...
- “Hands-Only CPR is CPR without rescue breaths which is simple to learn and easy to remember, especially outside medical settings. It increases the likelihood of surviving cardiac arrest, when the heart stops beating or beats too ineffectively to circulate blood to the brain and other vital organs.”
- This is not a certification course, but provides easy to remember hands-on training.
- This training is approximately 30 minutes.
