• Steven M. Gootter Foundation and Fiesta Bowl Charities: The two organizations donated an Automated External Defibrillator to Tucson Country Day School.

AEDs deliver an electrical shock through the chest to the heart of a person who has suffered cardiac arrest or arrhythmia.

Since 2009, the foundation has donated and distributed hundreds of AEDs to schools, police and sheriff departments, places of worship, and recreational and public places throughout Southern Arizona.
