Defibrillator Purchase

Defibrillator Purchase

Donations Requested

St. Mark's is seeking donations for the purchase of a portable AED (Automatic External Defibrillator)  This defibrillator would then be readily available to render assistance to parishioners and visitors to St. Mark's church, or parish hall, in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest.

Anticipated cost for an AED that would be suitable for St. Mark's is in the range $2,000 to $2,5000.

If you would like to make a donation towards this potentially life-saving initiative, please make out a cheque payable to St. Mark's Church, with "Defibrillator" in the memo line.

A donation can also be made on-line, by clicking on the Button below, selecting "General Fund" in the Fund pull-down menu, and adding "Defibrillator" in the memo field.
