The Packers are donating $100k worth of defibrillators to schools and recreational sports leagues in the Green Bay area, in the wake of Damar Hamlin's medical emergency, the team announced Wednesday.
After the facilities receive the AEDs, which administer a shock to the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm, Bellin Health said they would ensure reps from the various organizations are adequately trained in CPR and AED use.
"We are extremely grateful to the Green Bay Packers for this incredible donation of life-saving equipment to the communities we serve," said Bellin Health President"Access to this equipment combined with education surrounding how to provide aid in a cardiac emergency is proven to save lives." In the wake of Damar's medical emergency, various NFL teams have stocked their communities with the life saving machines, including Saints owner Gayle Benson, who donated 67 AEDs just days after Hamlin's cardiac arrest.
