Collins Group RealtyHILTON HEAD/BLUFFTON, SC - Over Memorial Day weekend, two automated external defibrillators (AEDs) were stolen from the New River Linear Trail and Alljoy public dock. The public access defibrillation stations, where they were located, were also vandalized.

Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are vital during Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) to increase the chance of survival and reduce the likelihood of Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD). During SCA with CPR alone the chance of survival stands at 9%, however with CPR and the use of an AED combined, this chance increases to over 50%.Replacement AEDs for New River Linear Trail and Alljoy public dock“In the world of real estate, we are all about building and supporting community... and hearing the story about the stolen AEDs showed an immediate opportunity to patch a senseless rip in the community fabric. There’s no telling exactly who is going to benefit from the AEDs - only that when they do, they will help save lives. What’s more important than that?!” said Chip Collins, Collins Group Realty Owner and Broker-in-Charge.

Please join Collins Group Realty raise the funds necessary to replace the stolen AEDs. Each defibrillator costs $1800, plus the repair costs to the defibrillation stations. The goal is to raise $4000 to replace both units.
