| We are currently in the process of rebuilding our website, in the mean time we wanted to pass along to you the information about our 2009 Fundraiser at the Stroudmoor Country Inn on Saturday February 6th, 2009 |
Greg Moyer's 2010 Fundraiser
Greg's 10th Annual Fundraiser will be held at the beautiful Terraview at the Stroudsmoor Country Inn from 6:00 PM-10:00 PM on Saturday, February 6th, 2010.
There will be entertainment, a silent auction with over 100 items, five live auction items, raffle, delicious food and an opportunity to see and meet people from the area as well as many guests from out of town and out of state!
The cost is $75.00 per person and checks made payable to The Greg Moyer Defibrillator Fund which can be mailed to:
Kassie Eufemio, 2225 Sutton Drive, Stroudsburg, PA 18360.
This annual event is the heart of what makes Greg Moyer's Fund so effective and allows automated external defibrillators to be provided where they are needed and defray the cost of training people in CPR/AED use.
Join us by remembering Greg on this very special night with your presence.
Let the beat go on and be a part of it.......save a life
For more information or if you have not received a formal invitation in past years or have an address change, or if you'd like to make a contribution to the silent or live auction, please contact info@GregAED.org or call Katie Moyer at 570-420-8869.
Heartfelt thanks!

On the evening of December 2, 2000, we went to see our 15 year old son,
Greg, play in a varsity basketball game at a brand new school in rural
Pennsylvania. He played part of the first half and, though his team was
trailing, he walked off the court at half-time with a look on his face that
showed he wasn’t worried.

Two
minutes later, we were summoned to the locker room. Greg had collapsed.
After a few minutes, CPR was started but the school had no AED and the ambulance was twenty minutes
away. Greg didn’t have a chance because he had suffered sudden cardiac
arrest. This happened to a kid that was never sick a day in his life!
Eventually, he was transported
to the hospital. After it became evident that nothing more could be done,
one of the ER nurses implored us to do everything in our power to make
sure other families were spared the pain of the loss of a child. She
suggested we try to raise funds to place defibrillators in area high
schools. We followed her advice.
This site is designed to share
with you what we have learned since that terrible night. Our mission still
centers on schools but we are convinced of the need for AEDs in all
buildings where the public gathers. We don’t have all the answers, but we
have learned a lot.
Perhaps you are a parent who
has lost a child. Perhaps you are a school nurse or administrator
wondering whether AEDs are needed in your school. Or perhaps you are a
parent who can profit from our tragedy by getting AEDs in your kid’s
school – just in case. Let us be your example. Regardless of who you are,
we invite you to digest the information on this site and to share your
experiences with us so we may use them to make this site better. Most of
all, we invite you to join with us in making AEDs just as prevalent as
fire extinguishers in our schools and public buildings.
Welcome!
John,
Rachel, Katie, and Abbie Moyer
