First, the local Red Cross came up with Single’s CPR night. Now, it’s Comedy Night.
Yep, those who sign up for the special Friday night class will be C P R certified, but also get a few laughs in the process.
Art Krug (a comedy vet of 26 years) will be joining the class, adding humor to the first aid training. Krug has a personal attachment to the program. Six years ago, his own heart stopped for about 6 minutes. His wife used the CPR training she got in high school to keep him alive until paramedics arrived on scene.
Meanwhile, the Red Cross is thrilled at the new theme nights they’ve been rolling out. Lisa Harwin with the local chapter says things like Singles Night, Comedy night and the upcoming LGBTQ class attract students who might not have taken a class otherwise. AND, by adding some entertainment, it’s easier for the students to process. Keep checking back with GoodNewsPDX because there are some NEW CPR class ideas in the works …. trust us, they’re fantastic!

Wow this sound like a very innovative way to do cpr training.
