Gather a group of up to 25 and learn to save lives with this 90 minute session which includes five Whitney/Strong bleeding control kits. Complete your training with some of the best comfort food Louisville has to offer with this Biscuit Belly gift card for $250!

STOP THE BLEED training and two tourniquets helped to save W/S Founder Whitney Austin's life after she was shot 12 times in a mass shooting. The American College of Surgeons and U.S. Department of Defense, in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting, recommended widespread STOP THE BLEED training as a way to save more lives in a mass casualty event. A person can bleed out within five minutes. The national average response time for emergency medical care is more than 15 minutes. A bystander that knows how to use a tourniquet or otherwise control bleeding can be the difference between life and death.
In STOP THE BLEED training, a certified trainer presents the basics of bleeding and how to recognize, then stop life-threatening bleeding, then provides hands-on practice using pressure, packing, and a tourniquet to stop bleeding. The training lasts approximately 90 minutes. Training can also be offered virtually, with extra time for Q&A in lieu of hands-on guidance.

This item would provide the winner with one W/S certified STOP THE BLEED trainer for a classroom of up to 25 people. Could be used to train employees, students, members of an organization or congregation, etc. The training will last 90 minutes and five Whitney/Strong bleeding control kits will be provided.

Date and time to be coordinated with STOP THE BLEED trainer.
