As you may be aware, the Ambulance Association, founded in 2015, is for the sole purpose of raising funds to provide supplemental equipment for the JCH Ambulances. The funds provided by the Cornhole Tournament will help purchase a Stryker power lift system that is used in coordination with the power stretchers in the ambulances.

In the past few years, the Ambulance Association has proudly purchased a Stryker power stretcher and two LUCAS CPR devices. In addition, an AED defibrillator was purchased and donated to the Jerseyville City Pool. The JCH Ambulance Association wants the community that we service to know that we care about them and to know that they matter. At any given moment, one may find themselves or a loved one in a situation where our first responders are needed.

We hope to see everyone there!
