Congrats to our friends at Custer County SD Search & Rescue in South Dakota for finishing in the top 2 of public voting for the Defender Service Awards! Good luck at Destination Defender on 9/12 - bring home a win!!

🚨🥳WE MADE THE FINAL TWO! 🥳🚨

Words cannot express how incredible, humbled, and grateful we feel right now. Thanks to an overwhelming show of support, Friends of Custer County Search and Rescue has officially made it to the FINAL TWO in the Search and Rescue category of the Land Rover Defender Service Awards!

This entire competition came down to votes, and we are here because of YOU.

To everyone in Custer, across the Black Hills, and around the country who cast a vote every single day, shared our posts, pestered their family and friends, and rallied behind our all-volunteer responder team—this is your victory. You brought us to the top two, and we are honored to serve a community that backs us like this.

What’s Next? ✈️☀️

The final winner of the customized Defender 130 and $30,000 grant package will be officially announced live on stage at the Destination Defender banquet in California on Saturday, September 12th!

We originally asked our longest-serving active team member, Paul Horsted, to represent us at the awards ceremony, but he isn't able to make the trip. So, stepping up on behalf of the entire team, our SECOND longest-serving active member, Jim "Buzz" Laverick, will be flying out to California to represent Custer County Search and Rescue!

No matter what happens in California, standing in the top two out of the incredible Search and Rescue organizations across the entire nation is a massive achievement—and it only happened because of your unwavering dedication.

Thank you, Custer County! Wish us luck as Buzz heads West, and stay tuned for the big announcement on September 12th! 🌲🚑✨

Defender Service Awards | Vote Now This year, we are awarding six customized Defender 130 vehicles to six U.S. and Canada nonprofits that support their communities every day.

Great story and organization! Please keep voting!

Custer County Search and Rescue has to be ready for anything. This past weekend, the team responded to a call on top of Black Elk Peak for a hiker who broke their leg.

Every day, our outreach team goes where many others can't.
Down unpaved roads. Into rural communities. Through wooded encampments. To the places where Veterans are often forgotten and help is hardest to reach.

This isn't just where we work, it's where our Veterans are.

Winning the Defender Service Awards would give Oklahoma Veterans United a Land Rover Defender that becomes a mission-critical outreach vehicle, helping us reach more Veterans, in more places, when they need us most.

Your vote can help put this vehicle on the road in Oklahoma.

🗳️ Vote for Oklahoma Veterans United today. You can vote once every day through August 14. Please don't assume someone else will do it. Every single vote brings us one step closer to reaching the Veterans who are still waiting for someone to find them.
