The Wisconsin Masonic Foundation and the Wisconsin Freemasonry Leadership Team presented six AED defibrillators and 43 Fire Suppression Tools (FSTs) to Waukesha Sheriff’s Department on September 5.

Every squad car in Waukesha County is now equipped with a FST and an AED. Funded entirely by charitable support with no cost to the taxpayers. Lives have already been saved with the deployment of over 60 FSTs and 40 AEDs saving people, pets and property.

The donation was made possible by two very generous, anonymous gifts to the Wisconsin Masonic Foundation totaling $60,000. The donations came from non-Masons who had seen how we were positively affecting the Waukesha community and simply wanted to support our endeavors! The Wisconsin Masonic Foundation and the Wisconsin Freemasonry Leadership Team are very honored and appreciative of such tremendous support!
