The donation is part of the National Automobile Dealers Association’s community outreach program; NADA’s program is administered locally by GNYADA. Since 1975, dealers nationwide have donated thousands of manikins worth more than $4 million, on which more than two million people have been trained. “This is another example of new car dealers devoting their time and money to the development of projects that enrich the lives of people in their communities,” said Vail. “Across the metro area, tens of thousands of citi- zens have been taught how to per- form CPR on training units donated by new car dealers because of this program. CPR training units help save lives and give comfort and secu- rity to those trained.”

In the first six months of 2015, GNYADA members donated 22 CPR training manikins — worth over $100,000 — to local ambulance and fire departments. This summer, dona- tions were made by Mullen Motors, Mercedes Benz of Rockville Centre and GNYADA to the Southold Fire Department, Oceanside Fire

Department and College Point Ambulance Corps, respectively.

“It is a great honor to present these state-of-the-art CPR units to local volunteer ambulance and fire depart- ments across greater New York,” said GNYADA Chairman Robert Vail. “They will go to train first responders
