(KNZA)--The Brown County Sheriff’s office has been awarded $5,000 from the Ruth and Roger Wolfe Charitable Trust.
Sheriff John Merchant says the grant will go a long way toward the purchase of manikins and other supplies needed to begin the department’s Teen Lifesaver Initiative in local Brown County High Schools.
Merchant says the initiative will certify high school student in Brown County on CPR, First Aid and the use of an automated external defibrillator.
The grant proposal was written by J.D. Clary, Public Resource Safety Officer for the Brown County Sheriff’s Office.
Merchant said, “This generous grant from the Ruth and Roger
Wolfe Charitable Trust will vastly improve the safety of the citizens of
Brown County, and will provide students with a life skill they can carry
with them throughout their lifetime.” “If tragedy strikes in the form of
an automobile crash, natural disaster or a sudden heart attack, we will
have close to 400 additional certified lifesavers available to assist, we
cannot thank the Wolfe Charitable Trust enough for their important
contribution to the safety of our citizens.”
