What an honor for our group's efforts to be recognized last night at the Board of Commissioner's meeting. We are fortunate to have community leaders that are so supportive and so involved.

Another $100 has been donated toward the effort to purchase LUCAS devices for our first responders! We are so thankful that so many of you are seeing the value and the need for this life-saving equipment in our community. Keep spreading the word! Our hope is that each of our first responder teams could be equipped with one of these devices.

We are absolutely blown away by the news we received this morning! An anonymous member from the Lumpkin County Democratic Party just donated another $1,200 toward the purchase of a LUCAS device! We have now obtained one device, but with YOUR help, we could help provide these crucial, life-saving devices for each of our fire stations. The cost per device is around $13,000, but if even one life in our community can be saved, then it is more than worth it!

Oh wow! Our neighbors in Gwinnett County agree that this device is so valuable and so needed! As a group, we've reached our goal to purchase at least one of these devices, but we know that it would be much more effective if all of our first responders had access to one of these devices when they go on call.

"Gwinnett commissioners on Tuesday approved the purchase of 31 LUCAS devices, equipment that delivers consistent and uninterrupted chest compressions to patients experiencing sudden cardiac arrest emergencies."

Please allow us to share our joy and our gratitude with all of you! Last Thursday, we graduated from the Leadership Lumpkin program, so thankful for the experience and so proud of our accomplishments. Thanks to the support of ALL OF YOU, we had the privilege of presenting $10,600 to Chief Wimpy and the Lumpkin County Fire Department to go toward the purchase of a LUCAS device. Today we received the news that, since that evening, someone has anonymously donated the remaining $3,000 needed to secure the device for our first responders!

How incredibly awesome is the community that we live in?! Thank you all for your continued support of this project. We encourage all of you to continue learning about needs in our community, to keep being advocates, and to keep investing your time and your resources.

Congratulations to Bill and Barbara Poole for winning the R-Ranch raffle and thanks to all who bought tickets to support Lumpkin LUCAS Project!

We also owe a special Thank You to our incredibly talented teammate, Denise Roberson, for donating her beautiful painting, coordinating the raffle, and for sharing her time to educate members of the R-Ranch community about the need for the LUCAS devices in Lumpkin County.

We are in the final stretch and still have a little way to go to reach our fundraising goal. If you would like to help us in our efforts to purchase a LUCAS chest compression device for the Lumpkin County EMS, we are still accepting donations! :)
