Saving Lives Matters!

In honor of Culpepper! With community support, CCF hopes to provide defibrillators for every city block. We may be the closest 1st responder. It could be your family, friend or even "you" you're saving as "SAVING LIVES MATTERS".

About

When Melonie Culpepper lost her fiancé Michael to sudden cardiac arrest, she made a vow: his death would not be in vain. Out of that heartbreak, Culpepper's Cardiac Foundation was born — dedicated to placing lifesaving defibrillators (AEDs) throughout the community so others have a fighting chance when seconds matter most.

Every AED we install and every life we help protect carries Michael's legacy forward. Through education, outreach, and scholarships for first responders, our mission is simple yet urgent: to empower people to act, save lives, and make sure no family endures what Melonie did without every chance for hope.

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

Psalm 147:3
