Rampart Search and Rescue

A nonprofit organization

Funding is only one way to show our support. Rampart Search and Rescue volunteers take a risk every time they go out to rescue someone, and that risk is heightened now due to COVID-19. We never charge for our services. Please consider a donation to Rampart Search and Rescue. Thank you!
