With fundraising success, HALO extends medevac services, but “fight not over”
LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Southern Alberta community came together in a big way over the last week to support HALO Air Ambulance.
The medical rescue service has been struggling financially, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in many of their typical fundraisers being cancelled.
The Free Fry Day event on May 29 saw $350,000 raised in a single day. There were also two Facebook auction pages recently, one of which HALO claims garnered nearly $200,000.
“The outpouring of community support has been nothing short of miraculous,” says HALO Ceo Paul Carolan. “We exist to help people when they need us most, when we announced we needed help, those same people rose to the challenge.”
