Launch your AED

"Well done! You've raised money to buy your AED. Now it's important for people in your community to know where it is in case of an emergency. So the bigger your launch, the better!"

- Fabrice

 

 

Checklist

Your launch event is the best opportunity to make people aware of the new AED in your community. You should consider:

• Contacting us if you would like a member of the Arrhythmia Alliance to attend the launch
• Spread the word in your local community with a poster of your launch
• Register your defibrillator on the national AED Locator map

Gain media interest

One of the most effective ways to spread the message about your new AED is by getting it mentioned in the local media.

We can provide a press release for you to send to your local radio station, TV news channel or newspaper. Remember to send press releases to journalists a few weeks in advance to the launch. Request a press release by email.
