Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) January 13, 2005 -- On Monday, January 10, 2005, The TAIG Foundation recognized Mr. & Mrs. Thomas Weintraub for their donation of two Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) to The Association for Independent Growth, Inc. (TAIG).
The TAIG Foundation is a supporting organization of TAIG. The mission of the foundation is to generate revenue to enhance the services to the nearly two hundred (200) individuals supported by TAIG. We envision the TAIG Foundation enabling people with mental retardation, mental illnesses, and related disabilities supported by TAIG to reach their full potential by providing the necessary funding to support various program services.
Founded in 1984, TAIG has continuously supported people with disabilities to be successful in every endeavor they choose. As a leader in the community inclusion movement, TAIG recognizes all individuals as valued, contributing citizens with full rights to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Automated External Defibrillators improve survival after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Their presence reduces the critical time for treatment. Less time to defibrillation improves victims chances of survival.
The AEDs will be placed in strategic locations throughout TAIG corporate offices to allow access by trained individuals to use in reviving individuals supported by TAIG and/or personnel during certain cardiac crisis prior to the arrival of emergency services.
