SILENT AUCTIONS

ABOUT THE CAUSE

Did you know that Walpole’s ambulance sub-center is entirely self-funded? Unlike bigger towns, we don’t have football matches or hospital transfers to generate funds. Instead, our incredible volunteers rely on first aid kit sales, cover subscriptions, and community support to keep saving lives!

As a self funded, volunteer-based service, St John Walpole relies on community contributions and the dedication of local first responders. Your support will help with:

✅ The construction and setup of a new sub center
✅ Ongoing first aid & emergency response training
✅ Critical response services that save lives

Every ticket sold helps fund the new St John Ambulance Walpole Sub Center, ensuring our community has access to a modern, well-equipped facility for emergency medical care. This vital upgrade will support our dedicated paramedics and volunteers in providing faster response times, improved training facilities, and better resources for lifesaving care.

By joining us for Walpole’s Biggest Party for a Cause, you’re making a direct impact on the future of emergency healthcare in our region.

Let’s come together, celebrate, and build something life-changing for our community!
