Summary
Representatives from the ForAlec Foundation presented two automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to the district for placement at Memorial Junior High, and offered CPR/AED education and outreach to families and athletic communities.
Representatives of the ForAlec Foundation presented two AED units and cases to the South Euclid‑Lyndhurst district during the Dec. 16 board meeting and described related education and screening work the foundation provides. The superintendent said the AEDs will go to Memorial (Memorial Junior High) and praised the foundation for turning a personal tragedy into ongoing prevention and education work.
A foundation representative described the group's work: donating AEDs, running screening events to prevent sudden cardiac arrest, and providing hands‑only CPR and AED training to students, families and coaches. "It's the number one killer of student athletes... we also educate about sudden cardiac arrest, hands only CPR, and how to use an AED," the representative said.
District staff thanked the foundation and highlighted that community volunteerism and targeted donations can make a material difference at individual schools. The board recorded the presentation as part of the superintendent's report; no formal vote was required to accept the donated devices and the district publicly thanked the donors during the meeting.
