I enjoyed GatorSavers and loved the fact that I was able to walk out of the training with my American Heart Assn card good for two year.

Wow, what a great event! Thank you Gators Bleed for putting this event together and, at only $5.00, this event allowed me to become CPR certified, whereby I would not have otherwise been able to afford.
