Serving Those Who Serve Us

OUR FOUNDATION

The OC Paramedics Foundation, Inc. was established in 1980 as a non-profit organization following a successful fundraising effort by a small committee supporting the Holly Center in Salisbury. Recognizing the need to support emergency medical services in the region, the organization focused its efforts on assisting local paramedics. For nearly two decades, the foundation’s primary fundraiser, the “Ocean City Character of the Year Party,” helped generate vital resources to support paramedic education and purchase equipment not covered in annual budgets. The foundation continues to ensure that emergency services have access to essential funding through both immediate support and a perpetual fund designed to sustain these contributions for generations to come.
