Damar Hamlin’s foundation donates AED to Sto-Rox High School

Damar Hamlin's Chasing M’s Foundation provided an automated external defibrillator (AED) to Sto-Rox High School on October 2, 2026. This donation comes as part of a new state law requiring PIAA schools to have AEDs for sporting events. Hamlin's experience with cardiac arrest three years ago has heightened his advocacy for AED access and CPR training. Sto-Rox Athletic Director Shomari Phelps noted the importance of being proactive in ensuring safety at school events. Hamlin's father, Mario, expressed pride in the impact they are making to save lives and hopes this effort inspires nationwide legislative actions.
