The club has succeeded in using the match to raise funds for the Shelter Island Ambulance Foundation, which few people seemed to have been paying attention to seven years ago, Mr. Jones said. “It seemed many people were ignoring this critical piece of infrastructure that had just lost a major source of funding,” he added Mr. Jones was speaking of how the Emergency Medical Services was once funded by the Red Cross, but in 2012 became entirely funded by the town and independent contributions. While the match is free, the club strongly suggests donations during the match. All funds go toward providing financial support to promote the recruitment, training, and retention of ambulance volunteers and to secure new equipment, primarily ambulances. Since its inception, the club has raised more than $100,000 for the foundation.
