For this year’s Day of Caring event, Pearce Real Estate agents and staff participated in training to use CPR and AEDs to help save lives.

“We usually perform helpful tasks using more manual labor, lending a hand where it’s needed in the community at our annual Day of Caring event, which we’ve been conducting since 2002 in honor of the 9/11 tragedy the year before,” Pearce CEO and President Barbara L. Pearce said. “This year, we are empowering our agents and staff with the skills to help people in critical need of live saving care. This is a something they can use for the rest of their lives.”

The training was given by Mike Papale, President and founder of In A Heartbeat from Wallingford. Scott Martus, the deputy fire chief-operations/deputy fire marshal for North Haven assisted in the training. The training was held in the North Haven Fire Department training facility with the assistance of Fire Chief/Fire Marshal Paul Januszewski.
