Since its inception in 1975, the fund has given over 4,100 training units in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. for a total donation of over $2.3 million in grants. More than 1.9 million people have been trained on Foundation-donated CPR manikins, and countless lives have been saved.
In addition to Resusci-Anne, Resusci-Baby, and Resusci-Junior, which teach cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills, the Little Anne AED training systems donated by the Foundation teach how to properly use the automated external defibrillators located in many public places.

After doing yeoman service as a recruit at the Foundation booth at the 2004 NADA convention in Las Vegas, a Resusci-Anne manikin was presented to the Southern Nevada Chapter of the American Red Cross. Pictured here with Anne are (from left) Ann Walker, former NADCF associate director; Robert P. Mallon, NADCF chairman; Marie Davis, workplace education specialist, American Red Cross; and Wayne A.

Nick Abraham, president of Abraham Automall and Abraham Ford in Elyria, Ohio, and Michelle Sartor (center), business development manager, present two CPR units to Judy Skillicorn, Elyria City Health Board president, on behalf of the Greater Cleveland Automobile Dealers’ Association. With the donation of these manikins, the health department hopes to teach hundreds of Lorain County employees how to perform lifesaving CPR on adults and infants. |

Testimonials
"Thank you for your support and assistance in acquiring a CPR Resusci-Anne. Our budget constraints would never let us purchase a training tool like this. We are fortunate that your Foundation sponsors such a worthwhile program. We will get years of quality training out of this manikin, not only for our emergency responders, but also for the individuals in our community that request CPR training." — Gary Whitney, Fire Chief, Liberty Township Fire Protection District, Unionville, Missouri
