Our funding sources include income from services and supplemented by the towns we serve through the annual budget process. Our operational and capital needs are ongoing and would be out of reach without the generosity of our donors through our annual appeals and capital campaigns. We rely on your help so that you can count on us and our professional medical services and equipment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. At any given time, it could be you, a loved one, or someone you know that may need an ambulance. Our fundraising efforts ensure that we will be here for you with quality staff and equipment and that we can continue to serve as the Boothbay Region’s first line of defense in times need.

 

Our capital campaigns run every few years and helps to provide the needed tools to sustain a high-quality ambulance service including funding a new ambulance, LUCAS 3 Chest Compression Systems, AED supplies, and other new medical technology to help keep BRAS well-equipped with technology, trainings, and services. These fundraising efforts in turn allows the annual budget to focus on operating expenses such as funding higher wages and a retirement program to recruit and maintain a skilled emergency medical crew amidst a highly competitive labor market. The BRAS has been very fortunate that in recent years Paul and Giselaine Coulombe of Southport have generously supported BRAS in our campaigns with a generous matching donation up to $175,000 toward our goal of $350,000, we are forever grateful!
