Proceeds to Benefit: |
One of the aspects of the Madison County Leadership Institute is a project that the group works together to complete. The class of 2019 has elected that our project be to raise funds to supply the Madison County Sheriff's Department, the Winterset Police Department, and the Earlham Police Department with AED's to be placed in each of their patrol cars. These three forces serve the over 16,000 residents of Madison County.
Police are often able to arrive on the scene before an ambulance and the earlier defibrillation can be provided the better the chances of survival are. Many police department's such as our own do not have AED's in their cars. Our goal is to raise enough money to provide these to all of our county law enforcement.
