FAST - First Aid Services Team LogoFirst Aid Services Team

The American Red Cross of Greater Columbus provides first aid services at public festivals, sporting events and concerts across the area. Our team supports the many events at Ohio Stadium, the Jerome Schottenstein Center, Bill Davis Stadium and St. John Arena. In addition to the venues, we support the Columbus Arts, Asian, and Pride Festivals, as well as the Nationwide Columbus Marathon, Cap City Half Marathon, and many other area events. Our team of trained volunteers is the emergency first aid front line for almost 2 million guests who attend or participate in these events.
 
FAST volunteers come equipped with oxygen, AED's, first aid kits, cots, blankets, radios, a water cooler and an ice chest. The team conducts temporary first aid until the Emergency Medical Services professionals arrive. The FAST team is now available for 5k's, races, company picnics, festivals, and any event where a crowd can gather.
 
"When we get the opportunity to work with American Red Cross First Aid Services, we are confident that a top-quality service is going to be provided to our fans."
- Mike Penner
Associate Athletic Director
The Ohio State University
