PRESS RELEASE

Josh and Lisa, the owners of Red’s Grill and Bar and Six Lakes Resort, recently saw us working and assisted with a water search and recovery mission. They knew we had a need for a boat to be used specifically for searching. They quickly got to work, and last night surprised us with this.

The family put in a lot of work to restore a boat they owned to make it look brand new which included rust, paint work, and new wiring. Thanks to lettering done by Perfect Image Sign LLC, a Helix 9 sonar graciously donated by Zacho Sports Center, and some all new LED navigation, spot, and emergency lights, we truly have a vessel that completes our Dive and Rescue Team arsenal. Josh and his crew were able to complete this within only a few short weeks, despite his busy schedule.

We are so overwhelmed by such a generous gift and show of support that it’s hard to put into words. Thank you to Josh, Lisa, Perfect Image, Zacho Sports Center, and our amazing community for your continued support. We’ll always be here for you as you are for us.
