FUNDRAISER for community STOP THE BLEED training and equipment - Winter Haven, Florida.

In-Gauge of Polk County, a non-profit organization in Winter Haven, Florida is raising funds to purchase STOP THE BLEED training kits and emergency bleeding control tourniquet kits to be distributed in public venues throughout Polk County, Florida.

Our immediate goal is to purchase 2 STOP THE BLEED training kits, at a cost of $1,200 each and 15 emergency bleeding control tourniquet kits, at a cost of $200 each.

The training kits will be used for training the general public in free STOP THE BLEED training classes. The tourniquet kits will be distributed at public venues, selected schools and other non-profit organizations.

Even in communities well served by EMS services, a person can bleed to death in less than 3 minutes. It is our goal and that of STOPTHEBLEED.org to prevent needless deaths.

STOP THE BLEED training and the bleeding control tourniquet kits can be used to control severe blood loss in everyday emergencies. Emergencies such as:- Automobile accidents - Motorcycle accidents - Boating accidents - Power equipment accidents - Animal attacks -Shooting incidents

Donations can be made thru EVENTBRITE at: https://www.eventbrite.com/.../fundraiser-for-stop-the...
