Weekly Review: June 26th-July 2nd

Last week, Rescue 7 took part in a very special event hosted in partnership by The Ultimate Leafs Fan and the #ChaseMcEachernMemorialFund. Complete with iconic players of Toronto Maple Leafs past, Mike Wekerle from Dragons’ Den and a room filled with history, the evening was one for the books.

Not only that, but thanks to all those who attended, the event raised ***$20,000*** for the Chase McEachern Memorial Fund! This money in its entirety will go towards placing AEDs in public places at no cost. To learn more about this initiative and how you can get involved, visit https://www.chasesdream.org

Thanks again to all who came out. Special thanks to Mike Wilson, the Ultimate Leafs Fan himself, for lending his amazing collection to this admirable cause.

If you couldn’t attend yourself, below is some press coverage of the event:

ICYMI, Rescue 7 had the pleasure of hosting the 2017 Citizens Save Lives International Conference. With teams congregating from Germany, Iceland and Mexico—to name a few—it was a wonderful weekend full of good conversation and exciting upcoming plans. Stay tuned to our Facebook page (Rescue 7) for details about our collaboration with the Citizens Save Lives initiative. Thanks to the good people at the Renaissance hotel at the Queens Quay in Toronto for being so accommodating.
