Supporting PVRG

The Potomac Valley Rescue Group is a nonprofit organization, which relies on the support of individuals, companies, and other organizations. Members pay for their own clothing and personal equipment, and outside trainings, like first aid/CPR are paid for individually. The Student Government Association helps to pay for the majority of our team equipment, but is unable to fund everything we need. Your tax deductable donation to the University of Maryland can be routed to PVRG to help us save lives.

We currently need funding for:

• A new 4-wheel drive vehicle. This is our most pressing need, and will allow us to get to searches quickly with the proper gear, and access areas in difficult terrain or disaster situations and set up a forward base or radio repeater station.
• Gasoline to respond to searches.
• Radios for field teams: each field team needs one, and our group is growing beyond the capability of the radios we currently use.
• Software for keeping our roster, running dispatch, processing search tasks, keeping inventory, designing fliers, and group organization.
• Books, software, and other training materials.
• Prepaid phone cards for emergencies and areas without cell phone covereage.
