The Louis J. Acompora Memorial Foundation was established to ensure that similar accidents are avoided in the future. The foundation’s mission is committed to seeing an improvement in sports safety with a special focus on the placement of AEDs in all schools, public venues and youth athletic organizations. The Foundation’s efforts in providing education have resulted in lives being saved. On May 7, 2002 “Louis Law” was passed by the state of New York, which ensures that all public New York State schools have an AED program.
