Emergency Medical Services Fundraising Update.
By Kelly Findlay
To our community and our supporters, we want to thank you for the many generous donations that we have received over the last couple of years. Pawnee County Emergency Medical Services couldn’t be where we are today without all of you. It has been wonderful to have reached a hefty goal of raising $370,000.00 in such a short time. We are excited to say that it won’t be long before our second new ambulance will be in service, and we couldn’t have done it without your support.
So, many may wonder what is next? Unfortunately, equipment must be replaced and technology marches on. Our county wide service is a fleet of 4 ambulances stationed at 3 separate locations across the county. Our next goal would be to install a 3rd autoload cot device in our 3rd primary ambulance. This upgrade alone costs upwards of $65,000.00. We also need to upgrade our Cardiac Monitoring/Defibrillators in 2 of the ambulances at approximately $22,000.00 each. And to even begin thinking about upgrading the 3rd and 4th ambulances in the distant future. The Pawnee County Emergency Medical Services is not supported by taxes, this is why our fundraising efforts will continue as we move through the years.
If you are looking for a way to support our initiatives, we have the following fundraising raising events:
Fair Raffle, we are selling 350 raffle tickets at $100.00 a piece for 5 prizes. 1st prize is a New Polaris Ranger, 2nd prize is a Yeti cooler with a rambler water bottle, 3rd prize is a Milwaukee leaf blower, 4th prize is $200.00 cash, and 5th is $150.00 Cash. Drawing will be held Sunday July 21st at the Pawnee County Fair Tractor Pull at 3pm.
