I can not say enough about this Organization! This foundation provides education related to Sudden Cardiac Arrest, teaches CPR/AED skills, and donates lifesaving Automatic External Defibrillators to local communities. There have been multiple lives saved from the training and AED donations KEVS Foundation has distributed throughout Western Mass.
Amazing foundation of dedicated volunteers who deeply care about educating and helping prevent Sudden Cardiac Arrest especially in children and young adults. I can attest to the fact that an AED machine donated by Kevs Foundation saved a life of a friend. Again, an amazing organization.
I have had the pleasure of working directly with the Kev's Foundation and the Director, Susan Canning. Sue's passion and dedication to ensuring that no family experience the devastating loss of a child is admirable and unmatched. I have seen how she has changed the landscape in her community and across the Commonwealth in placing lifesaving AEDs and ensuring bystander CPR is taught. The number of lives she has touched likely saved is countless. The platform that the foundation has used to help advocate for and be part of passing lifesaving legislation will have a profound impact for years to come. When you donate to Kev's Foundation your investment will go far and beyond what you would ever imagine. The Commonwealth is greater for having Kev's Foundation as part of it's non profit network.
Kevs foundation has taught us more than I could have imagined. I have learned about heart health, passing bills and lobbying and all with my kids what a gift!
Kevs Foundation continues to provide life saving services including free heart screenings, offering AEDs and trainings at no cost and continuous awareness to the community, in order to prevent Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
The team at Kevs Foundation makes a difference everyday with fun events and educational opportunities with the goal of early detection.
If you’re looking to volunteer or donate to an important cause, please consider Kevs Foundation.
I can not say enough about this Amazing Foundation. Created out of a love of a child who passed away too young due to an undiagnosed heart condition. This foundation raises funds to educate the public about sudden cardiac arrest in youth especially. They teach hands only CPR to ANYONE who wants to learn. They also donate Automatic External Defibrillators to local community organizations.

Kevs Foundation is a life saver. Literally!
Back in March my friend collapsed and went into cardiac arrest. We were at our local Pickleball courts. Kevs Foundation donated an AED and call box. A team of us were able to access the AED and bring our friend back to life. This story could have ended differently if it were not for the generosity of Kevs Foundation!
This Foundation donates life saving AED units to schools and non profits who otherwise could not afford them. While maki g the donation they also raise awareness of sudden cardiac Arrest in youth
Kev's Foundation is a great foundation and opportunity to make an immediate impact within the community. 100% of the donations go toward the cause. The work that is done by Kev's Foundation meets an unmet need in our communities for our youth. A small monetary contribution goes a long way to help Kev's Foundation meet their goals. Keep up the great work!
The opportunities given to children who may not have the financial backing to participate in sports, the sponsorship of a sled hockey team, the AED’s donated to many local non-profit organizations is just a few of the ways the foundation is making a difference in the communities. The Kevin J Major foundation has given back in so many ways. Out of tragedy, this family has been able to change the lives of many families through their various heart screenings, educational clinics and getting the word out there about heart issues. The dedication of this team of volunteers is making a ldifference in Western Mass.
What Kevs Foundation is doing each and every day is so encouraging and heartfelt. To have AED machines available to children is not only life-changing but a true necessity. The ability to educate adults and children shows commitment and passion. Knowing that my children now have an AED at each soccer game for Westfield United make me as a parent have a sense of comfort. This would not of happened if the AED was not donated from Kevs foundation. My many thanks to the foundation!! Keep up the great work you have done so far and will continue to do.
The Kevs Foundation is truly committed to helping the public. This group of people are exetremly passionate about education and prevention. I am very impressed with the wide range of knowledge. Overall a unbelievable experience.
The passion and good will this organization exhibits to further the education and health of the public is commendable. They are doing great work and set an example for the rest of us.
What a great group . Committed to making a difference one life at a time. So proud of what they have accomplished in such a little time.
KEVS Foundation is making a difference in Monson, MA! On behalf of the Monson Athletic Boosters I recently filled out a request with KEVS Foundation for a portable AED. We were chosen and will receive the AED this Friday April 18th. We currently have AED's in all three of our schools but not on or close to all of our athletic fields. This is a great start to our mission of making AED's available on all our athletic fields and spreading the awareness and education learned from KEVS Foundation. With all the education we have received from KEVS Foundation we recently had our entire High School coaching staff trained on AED usage and CPR. In addition, KEVS Foundation sponsored a FREE heart screening for children 13-19 at our middle school. We were able to screen 50 kids that day and spread the AED and CPR awareness in our small town. We will continue to work hard on our mission and are forever greatful to KEVS Foundation.
The goal of KEVS Foundation is to educate and help prevent Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in children and young adults and that is exactly what they do. Effective, efficient, and such a passionate group of people involved. This foundation MAKES A DIFFERENCE and I feel honored to have volunteered with them and see their hard work come together!
The Kev Foundation is one of my favorite parts of summer because it brings people of the community all together to donate their time to the wonderful nonprofit organization and to watch some awesome hockey. Kevin was 19 years old when he died of sudden cardiac attest due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Also Kev's Foundation is a part of The Kevin J. Major Youth Foundation which is an organization for people 19 years and younger to participate in sports. I have volunteered my time every year and it has made me very close with the parents to Kevin because after losing their own, they truly care for the health of the people who come out to support them. Also well volunteering I have noticed the appreciation of the parents that have their children tested and the excitement shown to those who learn from the CPR training they provide. This nonprofit organization is something I will continue to support and volunteer my time for.
This cause seems long overdue to me. Kevs Foundation is 1) making AEDs available where our kids need them most 2) increasing awareness of heart-related conditions and 3) making CPR training more accessible. This is a fine example of how such a tragic loss can be transformed into a cause that will surely save lives for many years to come. Keep up the great work!
