Searching for and rescuing people who become lost or hurt in the rugged mountains of Chelan County takes a well-trained, well-equipped team of climbers and rescuers. Training and response operations require extensive financial resources, and are often subsidized by public donations.  Because of operational costs, including extensive operations in  2022, CCMR is always looking for financial contributions of any size to support their work. 

At this time, tax-deductible donations can be made through our page right here or through our PayPal or through USPS mail:
