Description

Dear Local Business,
The Garrison Emergency Services – First Responders are a volunteer medical team located in Benton County in Iowa. We operate solely from donations and do not charge for our services. We respond to medical emergencies in the town of Garrison, IA and its surrounding community. We work closely with North Benton Ambulance and Dysart Ambulance. We also serve as an additional resource for the county should
we have a major disaster.
Our annual fundraiser, Responder Auction and Dinner will be held on April 15, 2023 at the Garrison Emergency Services building in Garrison, IA. Each year our organization assists individuals in and around our community and without donations from individual like you this would not be possible. Donations help sustain our organization, benefit the community which we serve, help fund supplies and training for our first responders.
The Responder Auction and Dinner attracts more attendance each year but we depend on the added support of our friends in the business community who supply us with either auction items or a monetary donation. Our organizations ability to continue to operate is due in large to the generous support of individual donors who believe in our mission as well as the gifts from
businesses and corporations.
We hope that you will consider donating. Remember that your gift may be tax deductible as we are a 501(c) 3. Please use the contact information below if you are interested in helping the Garrison Responders. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

Jennifer Losenicky, EMT
