KSAR gives thanks to the Killington community

Dear Editor,

The Killington Search and Rescue Team and the KSAR Foundation would like to thank the greater Killington community for their support during this year’s fundraising drive. Between The Blast Off Party and the town of Killington’s July 4th celebration, we raised over $6,500 for the KSAR Foundation. We also received donations from businesses and individuals.

Thank you to Dream Maker Bakers, Sunup Bakery, and Mountain Creamery, who provided cupcakes and ice cream for July 4 and The Lookout and Basin Ski Shop for hosting the Blast Off Party and choosing the KSAR Foundation as its beneficiary.

KSAR  is an all-volunteer, 24-person team of avid hikers and skiers. The team operates as a free public service under the guidance of the Killington Police Dept. This fundraising has helped fund some critical cold-weather gear needed for rescues this winter.

Josh Eckler,  KSAR director
