Downers Grove CPR Ltd. Launches "Saving Lives, Together — AED Campaign" to Donate AEDs to Chicagoland Nonprofits

Downers Grove, IL – Downers Grove CPR Ltd., a trusted provider of CPR, First Aid, and AED training across Chicagoland, has announced the launch of Saving Lives, Together — AED Campaign — a new initiative dedicated to strengthening local communities by donating lifesaving Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) to nonprofit organizations.

From September 15 through November 30, 2025, Downers Grove CPR Ltd. will donate one AED for every 10 AEDs sold. Businesses that purchase 10 AEDs will have the opportunity to choose the nonprofit organization that will benefit, or they may contribute the donation to one of the Chicagoland nonprofits already partnered with Downers Grove CPR Ltd.

“Every AED placed in the community increases the chance that someone survives sudden cardiac arrest,” said David Cotterell, owner of Downers Grove CPR Ltd. “Saving Lives, Together — AED Campaign is about more than business—it’s about equipping schools, churches, and community organizations with lifesaving tools while giving companies the chance to make a direct impact.”

The donated AEDs will be processed and shipped in December 2025, offering nonprofit organizations a truly life-saving holiday gift.

Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, taking more than 350,000 lives each year outside of hospitals. Quick access to CPR and an AED can double or triple survival rates. By donating AEDs to nonprofits, Downers Grove CPR Ltd. is making it possible for more communities to be prepared when every second counts.
