100 Black Men of Louisville hosts STOP THE BLEED® training on May 25th

On Thursday, May 25, in honor of National STOP THE BLEED® Day, Louisville will be one of nearly 120 cities nationwide where everyday citizens will learn to save lives.

100 Black Men of Louisville is leading three free STOP THE BLEED® events in three different locations in the city, each marking an area of significant violence and lives lost. Co-sponsored by the American College of Surgeons, each workshop trains community members to save a life by stopping someone from bleeding.

ABOUT 100 Black Men of Louisville

100 Black Men of Louisville, Inc. is a nonprofit with the mission of improving the quality of life within the communities of metro Louisville and enhancing educational and economic opportunities for all African Americans. Founded in 1990, the Louisville chapter is one of 118 chapters nationwide. The overall concept of the “100” began in New York in 1963 when a group of African American visionaries began to meet to explore ways in which they could improve conditions in their community for young males. The group eventually adopted the name, the “100 Black Men” as a sign of solidarity. Visit 100bmol.org for more information.
