🆘 WE NEED YOUR HELP! We’re still looking for young artists ages 2-14 to make submissions for our 2027 Community Calendar, and the deadline is coming up quickly on Monday! Get out the crayons, markers, colored pencils, or paints this weekend, and let’s get creative to support EMS for our community!

🎨 WHAT TO MAKE: We are looking for bright, colorful drawings that celebrate our community and first responders. Need some inspiration? Think ambulances or emergency vehicles, local paramedics and EMTs being heroes, or seasonal scenes or landscapes of our local area, like parks, flowers, trees, etc.

✅ RULES: Please use standard letter-sized paper (8.5x11”) for drawings, and layout should be horizontal/landscape. All entries must be submitted by Monday. October 12!*

🖼️ HOW TO SUBMIT: Provide the artist’s name, age, and a parent’s phone number clearly on the back of the drawing and either drop your masterpiece off at the station (402 South Main Street, Port Matilda), or email a scan or high-res photo of it to: [email protected]

That’s it! Submissions will then be selected to be used in the 2027 Community Calendar, and these art pieces will go on to make an impact — all proceeds from the calendar sales will go directly to support our local emergency medical services and first responders.

We can’t wait to see what you create! 😊

*Please note: Artwork must be original and submitted with a parent/guardian’s permission. By submitting artwork, you grant the Port Matilda EMS permission to reproduce the artwork in its fundraising calendar and related promotional materials.
