CPR and Bleeding Control Class

On August 20th, The Matt Garcia Foundation hosted a CPR and Bleeding Control class in collaboration with the Fairfield Fire Department.

A full class of individuals gained knowledge, skills, and above all, the potential to save a life. Of those individuals, Amon Morris attended the class to receive certification needed for a job. He shared, “I found the class informational and up-to-date. It felt more informative than a past CPR class I attended. I now feel more confident in helping someone if I needed to.”

Techniques were taught by Fairfield Fire Department Deputy Chief Robb Herrick and former Fire Chief Vince Webster.

Thank you to the Fairfield Fire Department, our instructors, and attendees for further helping us build safety in our community.

About The Matt Garcia Foundation

Matt Garcia was a man with a vision. He was the youngest city councilman elected in the state of California in November 2007, and a great young leader and inspiration to all who knew him. He was sworn in December 2007 and was on the council for nearly 10 months when he was killed. Matt was only 22 years old… but he lived more in those short years than many adults can even imagine. He led by inspiration, with integrity and ambition. Matt’s dream involved supporting the youth and creating places for them to go and things for them to do; turning away from the violence and crime in the city; and uniting the community so that all people will have a sense of belonging and responsibility to the city of Fairfield. Matt’s life was cut short, but his legacy, work and heart live on.

The Matt Garcia Foundation non-profit 501 (c) (3), was established to carry out Matt’s dream. We are dedicated to the work and efforts that Matt started, and hope that we can inspire others to do more, just as Matt inspired us.
