Central Okanagan Search and Rescue (COSAR) had been using a 1999 Ford F350 as their primary response veichle, and had been looking to replace it for a while. When Chevrolet approached them and offered to cover 50% of the cost, they were ecstatic.
鈥淸It was] a deal we couldn鈥檛 refuse,鈥� said COSAR in a press release.
COSAR is a non-profit organization with a team of highly trained volunteers that responds to search and rescue needs of patrons across the Okanagan.
The other half of the cost of the truck was covered by public donations to COSAR.
鈥淐OSAR is heavily dependent upon the support of the community to do what we do. As such the generosity of 91大黄鸭 Chevrolet is greatly appreciated and it will help ensure that we are able to respond in a timely manner to the 80 plus tasks that we respond to every year,鈥� says COSAR president Brad Trites.
