Your support keeps us ready
We never charge for a rescue — and we receive little to no funding for the gear, fuel, and training that make one possible. Donations are what keep our team in the field.
Where It Goes
Every dollar goes to the mission
As an all-volunteer team, we have no paid staff. Your gift goes directly to readiness.
Gear & Equipment
Ropes, litters, radios, medical supplies, and personal safety equipment — inspected, maintained, and replaced.
Training
Courses, certifications, and instructional materials that keep our volunteers skilled and safe.
Response & Fuel
Fuel and maintenance for the vehicles and equipment that get us to the trailhead and beyond.
