TEXSAR's 10th Annual Search Party Fuels Texas Emergency Response

Texas Search and Rescue (TEXSAR), a volunteer-based organization founded in 2004, is preparing for its 10th annual Search Party fundraising event scheduled for September 20th at the Renaissance Hotel in Austin. This critical event serves as the primary funding mechanism to ensure TEXSAR team members receive specialized training and equipment necessary for effective emergency response and disaster relief operations across Texas. The organization provides these life-saving services completely free of charge, establishing itself as an essential component of Texas' emergency response infrastructure.

Jonathan McComb, a dedicated TEXSAR member, emphasized the heightened importance of this year's event following the recent Hill Country floods, stating that the mission has never been more imperative. The Cowboy Auctioneer team is generously donating their services to make the 2025 Search Party possible, demonstrating the strong community support that enables TEXSAR's vital work. As a first responder team comprised entirely of volunteers, the funding raised through this event directly supports operational capabilities that impact communities statewide during emergencies and disasters.

The Search Party represents more than just a fundraising gala—it's a community-driven initiative that ensures Texas residents have access to professional search and rescue services when disaster strikes. With ticketing and sponsorship opportunities available, the event brings together supporters who recognize the critical role TEXSAR plays in safeguarding lives across the Lone Star State. The organization's continued success depends on this annual gathering, which has become a cornerstone of Texas' emergency preparedness efforts over the past decade.
