Hello River Ridge families! We’ve set a goal to create a community of lifesavers by getting everyone to take Finn’s Mission and learn Hands-Only CPR. When given immediately, it can double (even triple) a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. If you haven’t done it yet, take Finn’s Mission today to learn this life saving skill. There's only 7 days left! http://www2.heart.org/goto/RiverRidgeSpartanburg
