IRVINE, Calif. – Mark Paul, a security professional for Allied Universal, was honored by The American Red Cross at its Evening of the Stars event for his heroic life-saving actions.
Paul was recognized for assisting an individual in need and saving their life while on shift at Allied Universal’s client State Farm Park in Illinois. Allied Universal said that Paul helped a State Farm employee who collapsed from cardiac arrest by administering CPR while another worker administered an AED (automated external defibrillator).

This heroic act serves as a testament to the unwavering dedication of our team and underscores the values that define our company. We are immensely proud to have such exceptional individuals on our team, embodying the essence of true heroes.”
