Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, after teaming up at the 4th Annual DRIVE TO SURVIVE fundraiser this past weekend. Doetsch is a DRIVE TO SURVIVE board member, and Apple Ford hosted the event, which has raised over $1 million since its inception.
The goal of this year’s fundraiser was to assist Shock Trauma, the primary adult resource center (PARC) for Maryland’s emergency medical services system, acquire a state-of-the-art, Lodox Imaging Machine capable of performing a comprehensive, full body x-ray in less than 13 seconds! The cost of the machine is $325,000. Thanks to an anonymous donor, the goal was exceeded when the funds were matched to double the total.
The Maryland Medical System’s R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center will also be one of the beneficiaries of this yearês Snow Ball.
