Boating under the influence applies to drugs, as well as alcohol.

American Income Life - Graham Agency PA

Harrisburg River Rescue was founded in 1959 and is made up of 100% volunteers. They provide water safety education, training for the community, ice rescue, water rescue and emergency response services and emergency boat operations throughout Dauphin County. They respond to over 50 emergency rescue missions every year.

A few years ago, Harrisburg River Rescue was forced out of their Headquarters due to flooding from Tropical Storm Lee while responding to evacuation and rescue operations in Central Pennsylvania.

We are humbled to give a $2,000 donation to Assistant Chief, Tony Reigle, to help with Phase 3 of the renovations in their new building. This donation will go towards funding all of the insulation and dry wall in their new facility.

If you’d like to help us in our partnership with the River Rescue and their rebuilding efforts, please check out their website at harrisburgriverrescue.org.
