Special Edition
The countdown is on!

The Coalition has joined the Department of Defense, the American College of Surgeons, the American College of Emergency Physicians and many other organizations across the country to support National STOP THE BLEED® Day - May 21, 2020. We hope you'll join in and help spread awareness of the importance of STOP THE BLEED®. The Coalition is supporting some terrific #NSTBD20 programs, including the STOP THE BLEED® Training Kit Grant and Scholarship Programs!

The countdown is on!

It's been a busy week since #GivingTuesdayNow and it's getting even busier as the countdown to National STOP THE BLEED® day begins! More and more people are getting busy doing lots of STOP THE BLEED® activities at home. Below are some really cool school nurses who held a #STOPTHESPREAD Zoom party on National School Nurse Day last week! We love school nurses!

The judges are working hard!

Students across the country have been busy writing essays and making videos to compete for the STOP THE BLEED® scholarships. We've received over 1500 applications from students in all 50 states!

Scholarship and Training Kit Grant Program winners will be announced on May 21 (National STOP THE BLEED® day) on our social media channels.
