Help Support AZ STaR

/1 Comment/in /by
As a federally approved 501-C-3 non-profit, AZ STaR exists solely on the generous donations that it recieves from private and corporate donations.  Unfortunately, these do not even begin to cover the expenses of training, equipment and mission responses that are endured by our Volunteer Members. Nor does it cover the cost of the Educational literature and programs that we provide to the Public and other Agencies all at NO CHARGE.   Please assist us by making a donation today or participating in one of our upcoming Fundraising Events.
Join us for a PAWRaising car wash and visit with the Canines of AZ STaR while your car is being washed by their handlers (the one time that the handler will have to work harder than the pups).  See our Event Calendar for Dates, Times and locations.

After many of the tragic events that we see portrayed on the news, AZ STaR gets a slew of inquiries from people who are wanting to help.  We have therefore developed this post to assist you in getting some preliminary information regarding Search and Rescue with AZ STaR
Do you, Can you, Would you? 
* Have a desire to wander through the desert under the stars, at night, looking for clues and/or missing persons.
* Would you like to wander through the desert carrying about 30 lbs. of gear and water.
* Don’t mind being awakened at 1:00 am for a search call-out.
* Can pack enough gear into 2 large bags for 4 days in the mountains or desert.
* Can brush your teeth, put on make-up and comb your hair with your signal mirror.
* Can cat-nap anywhere, through any noise, under any conditions (rain or shine).
