Fundraising
Central Okanagan Search and Rescue relies heavily on the generosity of our community for financial support.
As a non-profit organization powered entirely by volunteers, donations and sponsorships are critical to maintaining our vehicles, restocking medical supplies, and acquiring essential rescue equipment. Every contribution directly impacts our ability to save lives and continue serving those in need.
From a small one time donation to long-term sponsorship, your financial support is greatly appreciated and helps make a difference.
If you are interested in learning more about our needs, or are in a position to support us, please contact us at fundraising@cosar.ca
We Need YOUR Help
COSAR continues to search for a new home!
At the request of the Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO), COSAR recently had a formal Buildings Needs Analysis Report prepared by a third party.
The Report Found:
- The current building has reached the end of its usable life
- It requires constant maintenance and repair
- There is insufficient room to store equipment
- The location is not central to our tasks
- The meeting room is too small
- The water supply is non-potable
We are now waiting for an RDCO committee to present possible options for the team to consider.
How You Can Help
To ensure that a location and building that meets our long term growth needs is obtained, COSAR is looking to the community that we serve for support. This can come in many forms: financial, professional expertise, and land or building opportunities.
Our Life Saving Mission is Powered by Our Sponsors
The support of our generous sponsors plays a crucial role in keeping COSAR equipped and ready to respond. Their sponsorship helps fund essential gear, training, and resources that allow our volunteer team to continue saving lives.
