2025 Annual Appeal

Every Second Counts – And So Does Your Support
What began in 1955 with just one ambulance and eight determined volunteers has grown into a life-saving legacy. Back then, they saw a need – and they answered the call. Fast forward 70 years to 2025, and while the world has changed dramatically, our mission at Cetronia Ambulance Corps remains the same: to be there when every second counts.
Today, we’re a team of over 200 dedicated professionals, operating 47 vehicles and logging more than 1 million miles annually – that’s a lot of rubber on the road and over 109,000 gallons of fuel powering our response.
Your donation fuels faster responses, better training, and more lives saved.
Because when the call comes in, we don’t hesitate — and with your support, we never will.

Today, a fully-equipped ambulance with paid staff for 1 year is $1,006,811.
In 1955 it cost $3,400.
