Do you know someone who has saved a life? Throughout the St. Louis community, remarkable people perform heroic, life saving deeds every day.

The Lifesaver Award Program, sponsored by AAA, is designed to inspire others to get trained in First Aid and CPR by recognizing local citizens who prepared themselves to respond in an emergency situation and actually saved a life by successfully reacting to the circumstances. Last year alone, the St. Louis Area Chapter trained more than 85,000 people locally in CPR and First Aid, including more than 15,000 in the use of AEDs.

Since its founding in 1984, the Red Cross Lifesaver Program has honored more than 350 St. Louis area heroes. In 2007, the St. Louis Area Chapter further expanded the Lifesaver Award Program to include the Lifesaver Community Awards as a way to honor local businesses and organizations for preparing their employees and the St. Louis area.
