CERT seeks donations

1 min read

The Fort Myers Beach Community Emergency Response Team is seeking donations for a fundraiser at the second annual Snowbird Festival at Yucatan Beach Stand on Nov. 29.

The CERT members will be holding raffles and a 50/50 drawing that will require donated prizes such as gift certificates, merchandise, vouchers or cash. The donations are tax deductible and an EIN number is available to anyone who requests it.

CERT, a volunteer branch of the FMB Fire Control District, is comprised of nearly 100 members who serve the community during disaster situations and are trained in first aid, CPR, AED, search and rescue, triage and fire extinguisher operations.

Funding for supplies and training tools are limited. For more information on the program or to assist with donations, please call Al Agathen at 357-4295 or Steve DeAngelis at 822-1369. Vendor spaces are available at this event.
