Thank you for visiting our fundraising page!  We are trying to raise funds for the development of the Kaufman County Amateur Radio Emergency Service repeater.  This is a system that will assist them in helping to protect the public, both life and property, before, during and after a disaster or emergency type event.

This system will also be available to use on a daily basis by any licensed amateur radio operator, unless being used for emergency purposes.  This will be a place that can be used by the community for the community.  As time goes by and more funds can be raised, we will also add EchoLink and other options that will allow it to be used the world over.  Become a sponsor today and have your name added to our sponsors page on the repeaters website, KE5KBY.  Want to see how the funds will be used, just check out this page.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Whether you are an amateur radio operator or not, you can help support this effort.  This is designed to be a benefit to everyone and not just amateur radio operators.  We are currently working with local boy scouts in helping them to obtain their amateur radio licenses and this project would be a great benefit to them.

This donation, as with all made to Kaufman County ARES, is 100% tax deductible under the law, as we are a registered 501(c)3 non-profit corporation dedicated to public safety and education.
