“Thanks to the Lincoln Community Foundation, we received partial grant funding, making it possible to host these classes,” says Samantha Gentry, Development Manager. “Our goal is to ensure everyone in the community has access to this life-saving skill. You never know when a family member, friend or neighbor will encounter an emergency that requires intervention while waiting for medical help to arrive.”
