Project BloodLine
What We Do
Our Mission
Project BloodLine™ is an official 501(c)(3) foundation dedicated to saving lives by equipping communities with the knowledge, skills, and resources to respond effectively in bleeding emergencies. Through hands-on training certified by the American College of Surgeons, public awareness, and partnerships, we empower all individuals, regardless of their background to act quickly and confidently when every second counts.
Who We Serve
We provide free-of-cost bleeding control training and low-cost certified courses to ensure that lifesaving skills are accessible to everyone. While many STOP THE BLEED® programs exist in San Antonio, most are limited to certain students in English-speaking communities. We stand out by expanding access to underserved and rural areas where training opportunities are scarce and communities may be unprepared for emergencies, circumstances that could cost lives. Our economic and bilingual training services bridge this gap, offering bilingual instruction to empower more people with the ability to act.
