Dustin Lyle & Moses wrote a check as a “Pay It Forward “ to place an AED at The Bowen Yard as a safety and to protect others in case of a life threatening emergency..

They are part of many other businesses they have opened including Sage in WH & coming soon Tacos & Tequila as well as a bar/ restaurant coming soon in Auburndale and The Old Duckys in Haines City .
Dustin holds a very special place in my heart as he is my nephew . I just want you to know how very proud am of you .
Ive also known Moses since he waa a teenager so to see these two accomplish all of this is outstanding .
Thank you both for doing this for The Bowen Yard to protect your staff, families , musicians and anyone who goes out to The Bowen Yard . Thank you Dustin for meeting Brian Beilke & I to install this at The Lake House to protect so many .
You never know when it could be needed , as it could be one of your own Friends , Family or even “YOU” your saving as “SAVING LIVES MATTERS “….
Eric Shimcus is a Paramedic for over 24 years at Winter Haven Fire Department and who does this all as volunteer , as he gives a demonstration on the AED and Cpr . We also incorporated a Choking Device and Narcan to carry in case of an overdose .
All of these I added to our demonstration in hope to share the importance of Saving Lives .
We also brought the importance of a Fire Extinguisher to your vehicles as I wanted to add this to our CCF Demonstration ,in honor of Jolynn. She was a lil girl we loved and lost due to a car fire back in Nov and we want to continue our love for her and her mom , Logan Deines with For The Love Of JoLynn 🙌❤️
The CCF Team were able to place an AED here in hope to help Save A Life 🙌
Thank you everyone and our Community so very much as without our community support we could not make this all happen .
In honor of Michael Culpepper, my late fiancé , who passed away from heart failure in July of 2020. I started the Foundation to help in my healing process as I wanted to try to help save others as I couldn’t save him . We raise money by sponsorships, donations, and having events. We place at least 2 AED’s a month in our community as well as we give out three scholarships a year. One is for Fire , one for Medical and one for EMT as we support all of our First Responders. if we save one person’s life, all of this is worth it.
CCF Mission Statement…
In Honor of Culpepper! With community support we hope to place a defibrillator on every city block. We may be the closest First Responder.
A Shout out to my husband , Brian Beilke being by my side through it all , our paramedic Eric Shimkus , Daily Ridge as our Media Sponsor , and to all standing behind me as we are the CCF Team !!!
A Shout Out to Rescue 7 Inc. ., CoroMed & AED.US for partnering up with Culpepper’s Cardiac Foundation and to all of our sponsors , ones who donates, & all supporters as you all help make this possible.
