The Rohan Rajeev Foundation: Saving Lives, One Beat at a Time

The Rohan Rajeev Foundation was born from unimaginable loss and a powerful purpose. In 2022, Rohan Rajeev, a bright, compassionate young man, tragically passed away from sudden cardiac arrest. Despite being surrounded by people, no one present knew CPR. Help arrived just five minutes too late. That gap — those five minutes — became a call to action.

The foundation was created to ensure no family loses a loved one because bystanders didn’t know what to do. Since launching, the foundation has:

• Trained hundreds of individuals in bystander CPR. Approximately 2000 citizens have been trained for free in the Raleigh Durham area (offered once per month at the HSNC).
For further details, visit rohanrajeev.org.
• Partnered with schools, temples, and local organizations to raise awareness about heart health.
• Launched the Rohan Rajeev GATE Scholarship at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business to support future leaders in global education.

The mission continues to grow. In 2025, RRF plans to expand CPR training to more underserved communities, collaborate with youth organizations to teach life-saving skills early, and advocate for CPR education to be a standard part of school and workplace safety programs.

Rohan’s life was full of kindness, curiosity, and love. Through this foundation, his legacy lives on — not just in memory, but in action.

Training is now being scheduled in Charlotte starting on Saturday, June 7, 2025. Click the flyer below or scan the QR code to register.
