The Good Fellowship Ambulance and EMS Training Institute has received a $184,000 donation from the Lasko family for a new ambulance, according to a report in the Daily Local News.

The donation was announced earlier this summer at a dedication ceremony honoring the late Oscar Lasko and his contributions to the greater West Chester community.

State Sen. Andy Dinniman thanked the family for the donation, saying that Oscar Lasko and the Lasko family never hesitated in giving back to the community.

At the ceremony, Vivian Lasko, Oscar Lasko’s wife, officially put the 2017 Ford F450 Lifeline Paraliner Type 1 ambulance into service.

To honor the donor family, the ambulance includes a commemorative plaque.

“This ambulance is dedicated in memory of Oscar Lasko,” reads the plaque. “For his lifetime commitment of improving our community through his generosity. Time will never erase the work he has accomplished and the lives he has positively impacted.”

According to Kim Holman, Executive Director of Good Fellowship, the generous donation comes at the right time, as EMS services desperately need outside funding for large capital purchases.

“Good Fellowship Ambulance is extremely grateful to the Lasko family for their donation and their support,” said Holman.
