Free CPR training is being offered on Saturday, February 4, 2012 from 8:00 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. at Giant Center^SM in Hershey.

Bring your entire family to visit interactive stations to learn the basics of Hands-Only^TM CPR, a skill that could help you save the life of a loved one.

Other activities include:

• Tours of the Life Lion Helicopter and Critical Care Transport Unit
• Blood pressure screenings
• Information on infant and child CPR
• AED demonstrations
• Visit from the Nittany Lion
