GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — As Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin continues to recover after suffering from a cardiac arrest during a football game, the Green Bay Packers are looking to raise awareness and prepare communities across Wisconsin for similar incidents.
The Packers teamed up with Bellin Health to donate $100,000 worth of Automatic External Defibrillators, more commonly known as AEDs. The donation will result in 80 AEDs being distributed to school and recreational sports leagues and facilities throughout Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
The Packers and Bellin Health will utilize existing networks and resources throughout the region to develop criteria and determine which organizations will be eligible to apply for the donated AEDs.
