Park County Search and Rescue Gets Donation from Local Group

After doing so much for the community, Park County Search and Rescue receives a donation from a local outdoor organization to help them do their crucial work.

The Park County Sheriff’s Office has received a donation of $2,000 from the Cody Country Outfitters and Guides Association. That donation is now in the operating budget of the Park County Search and Rescue team.

The $2,000 donation was accompanied by a letter, thanking P.C.S.A.R. for their years of service and safety in northwest Wyoming.

“C.C.O.G.A. is grateful and thankful we have a professional group in the Park County Search and Rescue organization.” The C.C.O.G.A. Chairman for the Fund-Raising Committee, Glen Pawley, said, “after all of the years that Search and Rescue has helped out this community, we decided this was a good use of the funds.”

Park County Search and Rescue are grateful for this and all donations they receive.

The donation, which came from the proceeds of a rifle raffle, is to be used in supporting the team and furthering the operational budget of PCSAR.

Park County Search and Rescue receives donations to fund additional training, purchase equipment, and conduct education and community outreach. The team is made up of 25 to 30 volunteers that come from various walks of life and bring multiple skill sets along with them.

The team works diligently to stay current in techniques and advancements on life-saving methods.
