Why Give?

October is National Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month. What better way to show you care about this cause than by donating to the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation through the Pittsburgh Foundation's Day of Giving today, October 3rd?

The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation is a national nonprofit organization based in Pittsburgh, PA. Our mission is to “raise awareness and support programs that give ‘ordinary’ people the power to save a life.”

We work to raise awareness about prevention and treatment of sudden cardiac arrest, the nation's leading cause of death. 

Key initiatives include an award-winning website, the nation's first online community for sudden cardiac arrest survivors and other advocates, and award-winning educational campaigns targeted to secondary schools and higher education.

Your donation will help the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation continue its vital mission raise awareness and help save more lives.
