We couldn’t do this without so much great support! Here is our list of 2019 Sponsors and Supporters:
Memorial Medical Center has been a great sponsor since the beginning. They provide all of our CPR and First Aid training, welcome us for a great tour each year and much more.
Additionally, this year we received a generous contribution from the Regional Wellness Fund of Memorial Medical Center.
We are very excited to have financial support from the WI Office of Rural Health again this year. Their organization previously provided a one year planning grant and then another grant for the very first implementation year of Rescue Divas.
Rescue Divas 2019 is also funded in part by the Chequamegon Bay Area Community Fund, an affiliate of the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation.
Essentia Health is back for a 3rd year of funding towards Rescue Divas with a Community Grant.
We are thankful to the Ashland chapter of Kiwanis International for their generous donation.
Northwest Wisconsin Area Health Education Center is another returning sponsor that we are grateful for their continued support.
Life Link III makes a financial contribution AND visits us at camp which is always a huge highlight for the girls!
Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College is another one that has been with us since the beginning. WITC offers an Emergency Medical Technician program which could be a great training option for our girls when they are older.
Bayfield-Ashland County EMS Council represents twelve ambulance services in the two counties of Northwest Wisconsin and has also been involved with Rescue Divas since the beginning.
We love having Washburn Area Ambulance Service visit us at camp and appreciate the donation from them and Friends of Washburn Ambulance this year!
Additional financial contributions this year from the following:
Ashland Professionals Firefighter IAFF Local 875
Regional Trauma Advisory Council
In addition to some of those already listed above, special thanks to all the organizations that either donate their time while visiting camp or by having us visit them!
Northlakes Community Clinic is a wonderful overall supporter of the Rescue Divas program including donating staff time before and during camp to make the program a success.
Bayfield County Sheriff Department – Another supporter donating staff time before and during camp and also inviting us to their dispatch center each year.
Sawyer County Search and Rescue visiting camp is definitely a BIG highlight of Rescue Divas each year!
Ashland Fire Department welcomes us to their house and feeds us lunch! Always make it a fun and educational time with fire extinguisher training, tours and other activities.
United States Coast Guard, Bayfield, WI Our first visit to the Bayfield Coast Guard station was in 2018 and we are excited to bring the girls back to visit in 2019.
It would be hard to be so close to Delta Diner without visiting so thankfully they provide our girls (and adult helpers!) with some yummy ice cream treats!
Master Todd Gibbon from Long Island Tae Kwon Do empowers the girls with self-defense training that they are sure to remember for a long time after camp.
Working on adding our sponsors and supporters from previous years. Check back soon!
