Residents of Placer County have a delicious opportunity to support their local Search and Rescue team by simply indulging their love for pizza. In a recent social media post that's sparking community engagement, the Placer County Sheriff's Office has partnered with Old Town Pizza to fundraise for their Search and Rescue (SAR) Team. The event is set this Wednesday, from 11 AM to 9 PM, across various Old Town Pizza locations in Auburn, Lincoln, and Roseville.
The concept is straightforward: when patrons mention Placer County Search and Rescue with their order, Old Town Pizza will generously to donate 15% of the proceeds to the SAR team. This initiative provides a critical boost to a team primarily composed of volunteers, requiring donations to effectively maintain their operations. The fundraiser's details were outlined in a Facebook post from the Placer County Sheriff's Office.
Funds raised are essential for purchasing specialized equipment that includes radios, GPS units, ropes, harnesses, and medical supplies. It's not just gear, but also about enabling continuous training for the SAR volunteers so they can remain certified in various life-saving skills. The Sheriff's Office emphasized the importance of these donations in their outreach, ensuring that the volunteers can perform their duties in tracking, first aid, and technical rescue, among other critical operations. "Every bite helps! So gather your crew, grab a pizza (or three), and help make a difference!"
