A Heartfelt Thank You for Your Support: Reflecting on a Year of Life-Saving Impact
Stop The Bleed Coalition | December 10, 2024
As we approach the end of another year, we want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible impact of the STOP THE BLEED® campaign and extend our deepest gratitude to every single person who contributed to its success. From the dedicated instructors who taught life-saving skills to the volunteers who supported the cause, you have all played a vital role in empowering individuals to act quickly in an emergency and potentially save a life.
Together, We’ve Made a Difference
The Coalition’s philosophy is very simple:
Working Together - We Can Save More Lives.
This year, the Coalition has experienced dramatic growth - our community of licensed STOP THE BLEED® Instructors and organizations, STOP THE BLEED® Ambassadors and volunteers has increased by tens of thousands - all around the world.
Thanks to your incredible support, STOP THE BLEED® reached more communities than ever before. More people learned how to control severe bleeding, a critical skill that can mean the difference between life and death. Every training session, every demonstration, and every conversation about bleeding control increased awareness and saved lives.
To the Instructors, thank you for your commitment to education and training. You are at the heart of this movement, and your expertise and passion for teaching people to respond in emergencies have been transformative. You’ve helped countless individuals gain the confidence to act when it matters most. Your work is making a lasting impact, and we are incredibly grateful for your time and effort.
To the volunteers and supporters, and to our growing numbers of partners, thank you for giving your time, energy, and resources to spread the word about the STOP THE BLEED® program. Whether you were handing out flyers, organizing events, or sharing information on social media, you amplified the Coalition’s mission in meaningful ways. Your advocacy has inspired so many people to learn the simple, yet vital techniques of bleeding control.
A Year of Growth and Progress
Throughout the year, we’ve seen the STOP THE BLEED® campaign grow in both reach and scope. The Coalition has continued to add tools and resources to support instructors teaching STOP THE BLEED®, including:
The new STOP THE BLEED® Training Management System

Looking Ahead
We’re excited about 2025, stay tuned for some big announcements!
Thank You for Making a Life-Saving Difference
You received this communique because you have made a difference. None of STOP THE BLEED®’s growth and impact would have been possible without each of you who has supported the STOP THE BLEED® campaign this year. Your dedication, compassion, and generosity are the reason we’ve been able to empower so many to act in a crisis. On behalf of the entire team, we extend our sincerest gratitude for your continued commitment to this important cause.
Together, we’ve made the world a little bit safer. Thank you for your incredible support, and we look forward to another year of life-saving education and action.
Wishing you all a happy, healthy, and impactful new year!
