Party with a Purpose:
Save a Life!

CitizensCPR, a lifesaving tool taught by the Darke County Red Cross.
This isn’t a party to buy make-up or cooking equipment. It is a party
that may actually benefit you, your family and the community.
Learn CitizenCPR, the hands-on only CPR, in just 30 minutes and then
kick off the party.
What a great way to beat the blahs of winter for a regular group of
friends, your organization, your staff, a Sunday school class, a family
reunion or your clients. Most people who survive a
cardiac emergency were helped by a bystander. That could be you!
There is no written testing for CitizenCPR. It’s an introductory
class, without learning of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or AED usage. A
trained instructor is provided and practice will be given on a special
compression tool to insure that each participant is comfortable and
skilled in hands-on CPR before the party is complete. .
All you need is an open room, a few guests and some food or drink for
after the class. Participants are floor taught with
accommodations made for those with knee issues.
Another class that can be taught in 30 minutes is Disaster Preparedness
planning with a Make-It-Take-It Kit.
This is a service of the Darke County Red Cross and a fundraiser.
Donations for the party help to support the mission of the Red
Cross. This party class does not qualify for CPR certification
needed for work or school.
