Local fundraiser boosts Pike County EMS training fund by $17,000, organizers say
Summary
Presenters reported that a charity golf tournament raised $17,000 this year for a county EMS training fund, bringing the fund to about $125,000, and commissioners thanked organizers and urged continued community support.
Organizers told the Pike County Commissioners on June 18 that the county’s second annual charity golf tournament raised $17,000 for a fund supporting emergency medical services training.
Presenters said the training fund — operated with support from the Greater Pike Community Foundation and other partners — covers EMS training for local volunteer fire departments and ambulance services so those volunteers do not have to shoulder training costs. The presenters named Malibu Wellness Ranch and CMG (a third-party ambulance contractor) as lead sponsors for the most recent tournament. The record states last year’s donation was $15,000 and this year’s donation was $17,000; a presenter said the fund sits at about $125,000 without the current donation.
Commissioners and the presenters encouraged residents to contribute through the Greater Pike Community Foundation and thanked the organizers for their work supporting local EMS training.
Ending: This was an informational presentation to the board; no county budget action was recorded in the meeting minutes tied to the donation.
