WVAC’s Annual Fundraising Drive is Underway

Dear Neighbor,

The Wilton Volunteer Ambulance Corps., Inc. (WVAC) is there for you when you need us. WVAC’s annual fundraising drive is underway. Be our partner in saving lives!

Who We Are: WVAC is a team of more than 50 certified Emergency Medical Technicians and Emergency Medical Responders.

• Our purpose is to provide the highest quality prehospital emergency medical care.

• For 37 years, we have provided the primary emergency medical service in town.

• Our volunteers donate 18, 500 service hours per year to the people of Wilton.

• Our annual call volume is increasing at a rate of 9% annually (1,350 calls in 2012).

What We Do: WVAC is on call for you and your family 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In addition, we are actively involved in the community we serve, as we provide:

• Complimentary “Hands- Only” CPR training to residents
• Standby assistance at local sporting and civic events
• Safety education to Town organizations such as SafeRides
• A monthly health awareness column for the Wilton Bulletin

How Your Contribution Helps Us Serve You: The Town of Wilton pays our Worker’s Compensation Insurance premium as required by State Statute, and less than 10% of our operating expenses. We depend on the generosity of the community we serve to help defray such expenses as:

• The purchase ($250,000) and maintenance of our ambulances

• The acquisition of technologically advanced medical and communications equipment

• Continuing education and training for our members

WVAC is a not for profit 501(c)(3), independent, tax-exempt, charitable organization.
All donations are tax-deductible. Please help us keep this vital community service strong by making a generous donation today.

With sincere thanks,

Chris Gardner

President
