Blanco County Emergency Services Auxiliary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 83-1956126) that supports the firefighters, EMS professionals, and community health personnel of Blanco County ESD 2 (Fire & EMS). Their mission includes raising funds and awareness for the District, providing fire safety and wellness education, and supporting emergency personnel during prolonged incident operations.

Serving more than 240 square miles across southern Blanco and northeast Kendall Counties, Blanco County ESD 2 responds to everything from medical calls and structure fires to vegetation fires and HAZMAT incidents. Their role as first responders became even more critical during the devastating July 4th floods, when they assisted with relief and recovery efforts in both Blanco County and surrounding communities.

Proceeds from the Real Ale Ride help ensure these first responders have the training, equipment, and support they need to continue protecting the people and places of the Texas Hill Country.
