St. Francis de Sales Catholic School Recognized for Winning Video

SALISBURY­–The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation today will
honor Saint Francis de Sales Catholic School in Salisbury, Maryland, for
winning the Foundation’s first video awareness contest. The school will be
awarded the grand prize--a new automated external defibrillator (AED). See www.sca-aware.org to view the winning
video.

The City Council, represented by Councilwoman Terry Cohen,
will issue a special proclamation at the ceremony underscoring the need to
continue building awareness among the Salisbury community. Faculty and students
will also hear from two survivors of sudden cardiac arrest about the impact
AEDs had on their lives. The first, David Belkin, Esq., a member of the
Foundation Board of Directors, was saved at an elementary school in
Pennsylvania. The second is the school’s new principal, Jude De Lucco.

The ceremony will be followed by a CPR and AED Discovery
Session—a hands-on exercise introducing students and faculty to life-saving
skills, facilitated by the Health & Safety Institute.

The video contest is part of the Foundation's You
Can Save a Life at School™ campaign, sponsored by Boston Scientific, Cardiac Science, Health & Safety Institute, Physio-Control, School Health Corporation,
St. Jude Medical Foundation and ZOLL Medical Corporation.
