RESCU Foundation
Who is RESCU
The board members and volunteers of the RESCU Foundation were or are participants of Renaissance Faires or have a connection that compels them to serve tirelessly so this organization can thrive. The board of the RESCU Foundation spends an incredible amount of volunteer hours assuring RESCU’s role in the future. They do everything that needs to be done, through heartache and pressure. But this aspiration cannot be done without assistance. RESCU is for you, and YOU make RESCU go round. There would not be a RESCU Foundation without all of those listed below.
