OUR PLEDGE TO SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAMS

$2 donated per radio sold

Our Pledge

For us, it's always been about the balance between pushing our limits and making it home safely. We also understand that accidents will still happen even with perfect communication. That's why we donate $2 per radio to search and rescue (SAR) teams across the country.

Donations are intended to both support underfunded teams and recognize the extraordinary efforts that first responders make on a regular basis to help those in need.

Our Search and Rescue Award

We started the Rocky Talkie Search and Rescue Awards to help support underfunded teams and drive greater awareness of the incredible contributions volunteer SAR members make to our mountain communities. For the 2024 awards, a total of $75,000 will be given to SAR teams.

Applications for the 2024 Awards are now closed. Winners will be announced in July 2024.
