Sheldon, Iowa — People from Sheldon and the surrounding area will have an opportunity this coming Monday to support an organization that is always ready to answer the call when someone is in trouble.
The Sheldon Community Ambulance Team, or SCAT, will hold their annual fundraiser dinner Monday evening from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at the Lifelong Learning and Recreation Center at Northwest Iowa Community College. SCAT Director Tracy Gorter says the dinner is being held in conjunction with a health fair.
For the past several years the SCAT fundraiser has been known as the SCAT Chicken Supper, but Gorter says this year they’re shaking things up a bit.
She says the proceeds from Monday’s SCAT fundraiser will be used toward the purchase of a piece of state-of-the-art equipment that will help SCAT more effectively treat cardiac patients.
Gorter talks about what this equipment can mean in the treatment of a patient.
Gorter says that, on behalf of the entire Sheldon Community Ambulance Team, she wants to invite everyone to come out and support SCAT at Monday’s fundraising dinner so that they can continue to answer the call with the best equipment available to help provide the best outcome for those who use their service.
