The Bahamas Air Sea Rescue Association is a dedicated non-profit voluntary organisation committed to saving the lives of distressed seamen or airmen in the Bahamas. They are supported only by private donations and therefore require your support through their fundraising projects. Aside from the costs of their daily operations and rescue efforts, they are seeking to purchase modern lifesaving equipment like defibrillators. In addition, they are looking to the future where they can have a permanent waterfront base of operations with their own building, on Grand Bahama.
BASRA currently
operates two vessels for search and rescue missions. These vessels
cost $250 per hour to operate and missions range anywhere from
six to
eight hours. They do not require those rescued to reimburse this fee as they
are in the business of saving lives and operate as a non-profit
charity. However, BASRA does need help to keep afloat. Your annual
contribution can make a huge difference to their bottom line. Remember
their next mission may SAVE you. Help them by becoming a BASRA member
today. All funds come only from public support through apparel
sales, memberships, donations and events such as the August swim
race. Any funds you are willing to give will be gratefully accepted.
BASRA's Search and Rescue directors maintain a roster of six teams
of volunteers. Each team has a captain, medic and a crewman who
remain in a constant state of preparedness to deploy on rescues 24
hours per day, 365 days per year as they have done since 1960. Visit the
BASRA
Grand Bahama web site to learn more about the organisation and
how to become a member. |
