Could you have helped a Damar Hamlin? Meet the nonprofit Compress & Shock Foundation

On the last Monday Night Football, millions across the country witnessed the horrifying spectacle of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffer cardiac arrest. Saving his life was the quick response of medical professionals on the field who performed CPR and used a defibrillator to shock his heart back into rhythm. On today's Buzz4Good, host Michael Hemphill reshares his conversation with Dr. Karen Perkins of the nonprofit Compress and Shock Foundation so that listeners are better aware and equipped to act as first responders to someone suffering a cardiac event.We also share some audio clips of our next BUZZ featuring Boys & Girls Clubs of Southwest Virginia, premiers Jan. 18 at 7:00 pm on Blue Ridge PBS, as well as our newest episode, airing Jan. 25, starring the arts programs at Roanoke City Public Schools.Are you a nonprofit with an event that we could help promote?

Like any company, nonprofits have salaries and bills to pay, a budget to balance. They require money. And if enough people don’t know about them, don’t believe in them, don’t support them — in short, if they lack BUZZ — they suffer and die.
