The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office HASTY Team is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and to show support — members of the public can purchase a Performance UPF 50 HASTY Team t-shirt. All proceeds from sales of the $30 t-shirts will fund rescue equipment for HASTY’s 100% volunteer organization.

Some examples of gear the HASTY Team needs to replace are radios, ice axes, and full technical systems which include helmets, harnesses, carabiners, etc. A list of the most pressing needs is below.

The t-shirts promote all the training specialties of the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office HASTY Team volunteers: helicopter, HASTY K9, backcountry, swiftwater, incident management, ski, dive, and technical ropes. The shirts range in size from Youth Medium to 3XL and will ship directly to the customer’s home the first week of March.

The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office HASTY Team is a 501(c)3 nonprofit. HASTY volunteers respond 24/7, 365 days a year. In 2020 HASTY Team volunteers responded to 115 missions for a total 7,735 volunteer hours on the missions – saving Washoe County taxpayers $486,537.25.
