If you enjoy outdoor recreation in Colorado, please consider purchasing a Colorado Search and Rescue (CoSAR) card. Your purchase supports the Colorado Search and Rescue Reimbursement Fund, which helps cover actual mission expenses for county sheriffs and search and rescue teams. The fund also supports equipment and training.

You can purchase a one-year or five-year CoSAR card through the Colorado Parks and Wildlife site:

CORSAR Card (colorado.gov)

You may also donate directly to our team by mailing contributions to:
PO Box 81, Cortez, CO 81321
We appreciate your support!
