Congratulations to the East Pierce Fire & Rescue Foundation for a successful first fundraiser last Saturday night at Gary Petersen's vintage car warehouse. The sold out event hosted over 100 visitors who came to see the first ever showing of more than 20 vintage automobiles and support a great community cause.
The East Pierce Fire and Rescue Foundation was created to help fund CPR training for the community, provide fire alarms for citizens and host a community program called Sentimental Journey. The Sentimental Journey program is one of only three in the country that gives eligible hospice patients a cost-free trip of their choice to do things they couldn't otherwise. It deploys off-duty EMTs and paramedics in aid vehicles to escort patients and family members to their favorite spots. Founded in 2012, the Foundation is a non-profit affiliated with East Pierce Fire and Rescue and has a limited partnership with MultiCare Good Samaritan’s Home Health and Hospice, which provides support services and care to patients.
Our chamber is proud to support the efforts of the East Pierce Fire & Rescue Foundation, the Fire Department and Multicare. And a big thank you to Gary Petersen for hosting a really fun community event.
