Mark your calendars now!
Come join us at the annual South Orange Rescue Squad Open House.
Enjoy ice cream from Maple View Farms. See the inside of an ambulance without the emergency. Technical Rescue demos. Gator rides! And everyone’s favorite Andy the Ambulance.
We’ve posted links to a few media spots (via twitter) on the “mock crashes” we participated in last month at the Chapel Hill, East Chapel Hill, and Carrboro High Schools.

Come join us again this year for the St Baldrick’s fundraising event.
We already have around 15 participants signed up. Lets see if we can break last years mark of $18,000 for pediatric cancer research.
For those of you new to SORS, St. Baldricks is a foundation that funds life-saving pediatric cancer research around the world and specifically here in the Triangle. A majority of the funding comes from events such as ours where people like you and me shave their heads to raise money and awareness for the cause.
