Firefighter’s Generosity Launches BART’s New Web Store

Bloomington Custom Embroidery
Basic Animal Rescue Training thanks Steve and Nancy Oberaigner, owners of Bloomington Custom Embroidery, for creating BART’s new logo and donating their embroidery and screen printing services. Bloomington Custom Embroidery donated T shirts for 100 BART certified trainers, as well as embroidery of BART emergency medical kits and multiple other clothing items. In addition, Steve and Nancy set up a web store for BART so that items bearing the BART logo can be easily purchased on line. Net proceeds from the sales of these items will be used to support BART program activities.
Steve is a volunteer firefighter with the Bloomington Fire Department and learned of the BART program when his department went through training this year. He contacted BART immediately following the training with this incredible offer of assistance. Steve says, “We would like to thank BART for everything you and all your volunteers are doing to train and equip emergency personnel so we know how to rescue animals that are involved in all types of emergency situations. As pet owners, we know how valuable pets are in our everyday lives. They are considered family members and we would be absolutely devastated to think of what could happen if emergency responders were not trained in these lifesaving measures. We are pleased to help outfit the many BART veterinary volunteers who go above and beyond, donating their time to help train our emergency response personnel.”
Thanks Steve and Nancy for your extremely generous donation and assistance that will help support BART’s growth!
