Working with Aidan’s Heart Foundation has been an incredible experience for me. I have have so many opportunities to refine my communication, collaboration and public speaking skills. It has been an experience that I wouldn’t trade for the world. I feel that working with the foundation has strengthened my character and taught me how important community outreach truly is.

Aidan’s Heart Foundation is one organization that surely gives back to the community where we live, play and raise our families.

Aidan’s Heart Foundation is a rapidly growing and impactful organization in our community. They work tirelessly to raise awareness about the real possibility of sudden cardiac arrest in our youth. In addition, they train hundreds of people in CPR and proper AED equipment usage to save lives. We are so fortunate to witness their fine work and meaningful results of their effort.

Aidan’s Heart Foundation has made a significant difference in not only the community, but at the state level with their advocacy to protect young hearts. They are truly saving lives by offering free heart screenings for kids, and supplying parks and schools with AEDs.
