Culpepper’s Cardiac Foundation placed #58 AED last evening at Jessies lounge !!!

This AED was a “Pay It Forward” by Cindy Shaw of The Past Time Lounge.
In October of last year, the Past Times lounge was donated an AED as a “Pay It Forward “ from The Lake Wales VFW Post 2420 so she wanted to keep it going in hope to save a life and she chose Jessie’s Lounge to receive the AED .

Well last evening CCF Was able to place an AED at Jessies Lounge .
Jessie Scubna , her Parents Steve & Mary Jenson have owned Jessie’s Lounge for 22 years .
Jessie and Robbie Loftus with their kids run Jessie’s and they were all there last night as well as their staff while CCF gave the demonstration .

I’ve personally known Jessie for many years, and she has always helped me throughout the years and many of my events that I do to help raise money for our community.
Several years back, there was an incident where one of our mutual friends , Stuart Spears. had a heart attack. Because of several taking action with Cpr, they were able to save him at that time, but it was an incident that Jesse definitely saw that having a Life Saving device is needed in hope to save lives so she was very appreciative for this AED that was donated.

I also have known Cindy from Past Times for several years and she also helps me as well so I couldn’t think of two better places that an AED has been placed. They both have successful establishments that have many people  at their businesses and now they both have an AED to let their staff know that in case of an emergency their patrons can be more ease, knowing they have AED on site.


Eric Shimcus gave a full demonstration on the use of the AED and CPR . He also incorporates a Choking Device , Narcan to carry in case of an overdose as well as a fire extinguisher to carry in your car & home in case of a fire . All of these can be purchased from Amazon so I added these extras 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 .

The CCF Team were able to place an AED here tonight 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 Eric Shimcus from The Winter Haven Fire Department , who does this all as volunteer , in doing the demonstration . Thank you to my husband ,Brian Beilke, for being by my side through it all and behind scenes, James Coulter with Daily Ridge & my advisor Lora Donley ,for all standing behind me as we are the CCF Team !!!

Thank you 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.

We all may be The Closest 1st Responder. It could be your friend your own family or even “YOU “ , you’re saving as “SAVING LIVES MATTERS “.

Look up CCF Locations …
