BRUNSWICK, GA – Saturday June 11, the Ballard volunteer division conducted their third annual volunteer fundraiser boot drive at the Brunswick, Georgia Wal-Mart.  With the proceeds from this boot drive aiding with the purchase of gear and equipment the volunteers feel that this fundraiser is important to the organizations operation. 

Local radio stations came out in support of the effort and set-up remotes.  Those participating included Magic 105.9, with Jenna McNeal and Mark Douglas, and Coastal Country 104.1 "The Wave", with Michele Logan and John Coffey.  These radio stations have supported the departments' efforts in the past and just recently received a national community service award for their efforts.

Volunteers Fernandes and Woodward did some live public service announcements over the radio stations promoting the volunteers and asking that anyone interested in volunteering come by the station on a meeting night.

As with the past fundraisers this one was a success and plans are in the works preparing for another fundraiser in the future.
