"I was astonished when Dianne (Wilson) gave us a check for $2,700.00," said Rescue One Foundation Board Member Linda Borelli. Wilson, the executive director of Moraga Royale, an assisted living facility, spearheaded the facility's Christmas tree auction to benefit Rescue One. "This will be a great help in our fundraising efforts," stated Borelli.
Established in 1977, the Rescue One Foundation receives and administers contributions in support of the Moraga-Orinda Fire District's (MOFD) paramedic program; over the last 33 years, Rescue One has contributed $300,000 worth of equipment to MOFD.
Rescue One's latest purchase is a new monitor/defibrillator called the Lifepak 15. MOFD is the first fire district in the East Bay to get the newer, lighter unit. "This unit checks 15 different vital signs and transfers the information directly to the emergency room even before the emergency vehicle reaches its destination," explained Borelli. "Rescue One was very proud to finance one of these units for MOFD a month ago. We hope to get a second unit in the near future, and Moraga Royale's donation will help us get there."
