Rocky Talkie's seventh annual Search & Rescue Awards program has granted $15,000 to two teams serving the Tahoe-Truckee region, funded through the company's Outdoor Safety Pledge. - Nevada County Sheriff's Search and Rescue received a $10,000 grant for advanced rope rescue training for six team members.
- Tahoe Nordic SAR's Avalanche Dog Team received a $5,000 grant to support training, equipment, and operational readiness. - Since 2019, Rocky Talkie has contributed $410,000 to volunteer rescue organizations through the pledge.
The grants aim to enhance safety and effectiveness in high-risk backcountry environments, supporting volunteer teams that are often underfunded.
