Aidan’s Heart Alliance
Aidan’s Heart Foundation is asking for your support to help prevent the loss of another young life to Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). Your generosity has fueled an extraordinary year of impact. Together, we achieved:
❤️ 2,270 students trained in Hands-Only CPR through our peer model
❤️ 270 youth certified in CPR
❤️ 241 AEDs placed in schools, childcare centers, and youth athletic fields
❤️ 115 young hearts screened on National Youth Heart Screening Day
❤️ 4 referred for follow-up care for potentially life-threatening conditions
❤️ 9 young adults trained and certified as CPR Instructors
❤️ 2 cardiac screening events for local first responders, in partnership with Chester County Hospital
Today, we’re proud to introduce Aidan’s Heart Alliance—our new monthly giving community dedicated to protecting young hearts year-round.
As we set our sights on deepening our impact in 2026, we invite you to honor Aidan with a recurring gift of $22/month—one dollar for every year of age he would be today. Aidan was just 7 years old when he died from an undetected cardiac condition that may have been found with a simple EKG. Your monthly support helps ensure other families never face that same tragedy.
Your $22/month Aidan's Heart Alliance membership provides the steady support needed to:
• Expand youth-led CPR training
• Sustain our youth heart screening initiatives
• Place AEDs where children learn, play, and grow
Alliance members receive:
💗 A limited-edition Aidan’s Heart Foundation T-shirt
💗 An invitation to our Annual Donor Recognition Party
💗 Recognition in our Annual Report
Every dollar helps protect young hearts and empowers the next generation with life-saving skills.
Join the Aidan’s Heart Alliance—because your support keeps young hearts safe all year long.

What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest?
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a life-threatening emergency that occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating. It strikes people of all ages who may seem to be healthy, even children and teens.
The American Heart Association quotes more than 356,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests annually, most often occurring without warning.

SCA leads to death in minutes if CPR and an AED are not implemented.Aidan's Heart Foundation has taught over 12,000 students in Hands-Only CPR and has certified over 600 adults and youth.
AEDs are not required in schools or on athletic playing fields, and CPR training is not required for coaches or teachers in Pennsylvania.Aidan's Heart Foundation continues to work with our state legislators to advocate for laws to require lifesaving protection for our most vulnerable population-- our children.
