When She's Birdie joined us for our SAFE TOGETHER Community Safety Day, they didn’t just show up to support the event; they left behind a generous donation of their personal safety alarms so we could continue putting them into the hands of people who may need them most.

We were proud to donate those Birdie alarms to The Cocoon, an organization doing incredibly important work supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence in our community.

Our mission goes beyond training. We are building partnerships that create real, practical opportunities to make people safer.

We’re grateful to She's Birdie for their continued partnership and generosity, and proud to support The Cocoon and the work they do every day.

This is what SAFE TOGETHER is supposed to mean: organizations coming together, sharing resources, and helping protect the people in our community who need it most.

Thank you, Julie Spann Johnson - State Farm Insurance Agent She’s She's Birdie and The Cocoonn, for being part of it.

We can’t say enough about HOOVES and the work they do. Their mission, bringing healing to first responders and veterans through equine therapy, is one we believe in deeply. Those who serve our communities carry weight most people never see, and organizations like HOOVES make sure they don’t carry it alone.

Patrick, thank you for joining us at Safe Together and for the incredible conversations with our team. This is what community partnership looks like.

🚨 Training Matters. Seconds Matter. Lives Matter.

This is a powerful reminder that you don't have to be a paramedic to make a life-saving difference.

A 20-year-old cosmetology student used what she learned in first aid training and the shirt off her back to help save the life of a robbery victim. She didn't have specialized equipment. She didn't have years of experience. She had knowledge and the confidence to act.

At Active Response Solutions, this is exactly why we're passionate about teaching everyday people life-saving skills. Whether it's:
✅ First Aid
🩸 Stop the Bleed
🚑 CPR/AED
🛡️ Active Attack Response

You never know when you'll be the person standing between life and death.

The best emergency kit you'll ever carry is the knowledge in your head.

Take a minute to read this incredible story and ask yourself:

Would you know what to do?

Thanks for sharing this story WTOL 11

A 20-year-old cosmetology student used her own shirt to save a stranger's life after an armed robbery — and her split-second decision made all the difference: https://www.wtol.com/article/news/nation-world/first-aid-training-saves-life-armed-robbery-texas/507-a8f92e0c-9e85-4d11-ac42-bfd1b766b230?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_WTOL_11

VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: She’s Birdie

Community Safety Day is just over a month out, and we are excited to welcome a new partner joining us all the way from San Diego.

She’s Birdie makes the original personal safety alarm, designed by women, for women. It is a small, keychain-sized device that fits right in your hand or bag. When you feel unsafe, you pull the top and it sets off a loud 130 decibel siren and a bright flashing strobe light, loud enough and bright enough to stop a threat in its tracks and turn every head around you.

No pepper spray. No tasers. Nothing violent. Just a simple, reusable tool that puts help one pull away, whether you are walking to your car, out for a run, or sending a kid off to college. It is easy enough for a child or a grandparent to use.

Stop by their table on July 25 to see Birdie in person and learn how it works.

Community Safety Day
Saturday, July 25
City Center Green Space, Downtown Perrysburg
Free and open to the whole family
