Where the money we have raised this year has gone so far…

$5,000 to John’s Bereavement Fund with the Mercy Foundation to give all families who endure a loss of an infant or young child in the Pediatric ICU & Pediatric ER, keepsakes from their angels to hold in their arms.

Defibrillators (AEDs) & updates to:

• Guthrie Center Community Schools will have 2 AEDs for their buildings & 1 to travel with their athletics
• Van Meter Community Schools will have an AED to travel with their athletics
• ADM Community Schools will have 3 infant replacement pads and
• Nodaway Valley Community Schools will have 2 infant replacement pads!

This will make it so that the following school districts will have AEDs in all their buildings & to travel with their athletic events:

• Adel-De Soto-Minburn Community Schools
• Nodaway Valley Community Schools
• Panorama Community Schools
• Guthrie Center Community Schools
• Van Meter Community Schools

Hopefully these will never have to be used, but if there is ever a unimaginable situation they will there to help save a life!
