Empower your team to save lives in just 90 minutes with Heart & Stroke’s CardiacCrash™ Compression Challenge.
What is the CardiacCrash Compression Challenge?
The CardiacCrash Compression Challenge is a 90-minute high‑energy experience that brings employees together to introduce lifesaving CPR and AED use, fundraise for Heart & Stroke and strengthen team connection.
Through teamwork, friendly competition and hands‑on learning, participants feel more confident to act in a cardiac arrest emergency—while supporting the next research breakthroughs, advocacy and education efforts across Canada.
How the CardiacCrash Compression Challenge works
Fundraising with purpose
Teams commit to a minimum fundraising goal of $3,000. Leading up to the in‑person event, teams fundraise together in support of the next research breakthroughs, advocacy and education efforts that help save lives across Canada.
Learning lifesaving skills through CardiacCrash

A fast‑paced, interactive introduction to CPR and AED basics where participants are divided into two teams and compete for points through questions and CPR practice—driving collaboration, confidence, and engagement from the very start.
