2014 Day of GivingDo you know anyone who experienced sudden cardiac arrest? You are not alone. SCA affects more than 1,000 people every day in the U.S., including 26 children. On average, only 10 percent of victims survive. Yet when victims receive immediate CPR and treatment with defibrillators, survival rates jump to 40 percent.

The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation, a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Pittsburgh, PA, is working tirelessly to help raise awareness about SCA and improve survival rates. The Foundation was recently named a top-rated community benefit organization by Great Nonprofits, which showcases trustworthy nonprofits.

Help us continue to make a difference. Make a tax-deductible contribution of $25 or more today, May 6, before midnight here and the Pittsburgh Foundation will provide an additional pro-rated amount for every donation.
