Escambia Search And Rescue Fundraiser Underway

December 18, 2013

Escambia Search and Rescue wants Escambia County residents to know that the group is  currently soliciting funds door-to-door.

Several months ago, the group said they received reports of someone fraudulently going door-to-door for the group. But Skip Bollens, ESAR director, said this week that their annual door-to-door fundraiser is now underway.

“ESAR is supported by these donations,” Bollens said. “We are non-profit, all volunteer organization…serving the community since 1961.”

Escambia Search and Rescue trains for and responds to many different types of incidents, including lost children, missing hunters, drowning victims, overdue boats, natural disasters, and missing persons with Alzheimer’s, autism or other forms of dementia.

Donations can be made on the group’s website, www.EscambiaSearchAndRescue.com.

    Write a check to this worthwhile organization for a record for them and for yourself. I rarely give cash unless I am absolutely sure of who I am giving it to.
