San Dimas Mountain Rescue Team
 |
You can help save a life!
For over half a century the San Dimas Mountain Rescue Team has come to the aid of lost, overdue or injured hikers, victims of cars over the side of the mountain, searched for downed aircraft and performed fire and flood evacuations in our local mountains. We are called upon to conduct information seminars and participate in community events on a regular basis. Although funded by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for vehicles and life safety equipment, the team and the individual members purchase much of the equipment and gear that is necessary to carry out our mission of saving lives. Most of our team's funding comes from the generous donations of people like you. Since we are an all-volunteer organization, donated funds support the team's operational and training budget.

Grants, Major Donors and Team Sponsors We welcome the support of business and civic leaders whose organizations share our commitment to safety in our community and the safe enjoyment of nature and the outdoors. Our team is recognized by the State of California as a Charitable Corporation and by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) non-profit tax-exempt corporation. That means your contributions to the Team may be tax-deductible (check with your tax expert). We are a 100% volunteer organization, so every dollar received goes directly to team training, operations and equipment. Are you interested in becoming a member? |
Your donation can help us work faster, better and have a direct impact on our mission to save lives.
Advancements in equipment, techniques or training can mean the difference in the time it takes to locate, secure and move a victim to safety.
With your donation, the SDMRT can find victims faster and coordinate rescues more efficiently. Keeping up with this technology means we must invest in purchasing and maintaining cutting edge electronics and equipment. Ropes, fuel, medical equipment, maps and other pieces of equipment are essential 'tools of our trade', and must also be repaired or replaced on an ongoing basis to ensure the safety of victims as well as our team members. Your donation has a direct impact on the thousands of hours of search and rescue activities we undertake every year. |
