A fundraising campaign by Arrowsmith Search and Rescue (ASAR) got a boost from the Ocean Idlers Car Club, who donated $1,500.
The money will help ASAR replace one of its initial response vehicles, according to a news release.
The vehicles are first to arrive on a search and rescue scene, according to Ken Neden, SAR manager. Neden estimated the cost of replacement at approximately $100,000, with approximately $25,000 committed so far.
