CPR Classes

Why We’re Starting This Program

Emergencies don’t wait for an ambulance to arrive.

They happen:

  • In living rooms, kitchens, and backyards
  • During family gatherings, school events, and church activities
  • Around newborns, children, and elders we deeply love

In those first few minutes, a calm, prepared bystander can make all the difference. But traditional CPR courses are often:

Too expensive

  • Only offered at inconvenient times
  • Located far from where families live and work
  • For many families—especially those already stretched with medical bills, childcare costs, or reduced income—CPR classes simply aren’t accessible. That’s not okay with us.

The Community CPR Program exists to remove those barriers so that cost and transportation aren’t the reason someone doesn’t know how to save a life.

Why We Need Your Help

To offer CPR education that is truly accessible, we’re committed to keeping costs as low as possible and providing free spots whenever needed. To do that, we need help covering the start-up and ongoing costs of the program, including:

  • CPR manikins for adults, children, and infants
  • AED training units
  • Cleaning and replacement supplies for safe use of shared equipment
  • Training materials and certification fees
  • Staff time for coordinating and teaching classes
  • Scholarships so no one is turned away for inability to pay

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, donations to Rose City Wellness are tax-deductible as allowed by law and go directly toward making CPR education available to more families in our community.

Together, we can build a community where more people feel prepared, calm, and confident in an emergency—and more lives are saved.
