Today, we have the opportunity to directly impact lives.

This is not simply a vehicle. It is a lifeline.

Every emergency call answered in our community depends on reliable, up-to-date equipment. When someone dials for help, nothing else matters but speed, safety, and skilled care. A new ambulance ensures faster response times, safer transport, and the highest level of emergency care for our neighbors, friends, and families.

The total investment for a fully equipped new ambulance is $500,000.

This milestone year presents a singular opportunity.

The $500,000 Lifesaver Legacy Naming Opportunity allows one sponsor to stand behind every response — and to honor a life, a legacy, or a name that deserves to be remembered.

With this transformational gift, your chosen name — whether a business, family, or in memory of a loved one — will be permanently displayed on the new ambulance:

Your name will travel throughout Virginia Beach, visible as it races toward emergencies carrying trained responders and critical care.

It is a powerful, lasting tribute — one that turns remembrance into action and legacy into lifesaving impact.

Your sponsorship becomes part of countless stories:

This is legacy in motion.
