Fundraising efforts result in big check for Eagles Nest Fire department
 

EAGLES NEST TWP- On Wednesday Oct. 18, the Eagles Nest Fire and EMS Auxiliary, a nonprofit
501(c)(3), presented a check for $10,000 to the Eagles Nest Fire Department at the Township Board meeting.

This will be the culmination of several fund-raising activities over the past year. Retired ENFD Chief
and ENFEA Chair, Larry McCray, said “this is a continuation of fund-raising efforts started by the Eagles Nest Fireflies, in which they gave thousands of dollars to ENFD.” The ENFD Fireflies disbanded in 2021. The ENFD Auxiliary picked up where the Fireflies left off and have continued to raise funds to support ENFD.

The Eagles Nest Fire and EMS Auxiliary held numerous events over the past year to raise money to support the Eagles Nest Fire Department with new equipment they normally would not be able to afford. McCray added, “we are committed to supporting the Eagles Nest Fire Department by holding events that raise the money necessary to keep a small-town department running."
