Center Point Fire & Rescue has made a significant decision regarding their fundraising efforts. After over two decades of hosting motocross races to support the department’s operations, they have decided to discontinue this tradition. The primary reason behind this move is the escalating insurance costs that have been plaguing the events for some time.
In recent years, the rising insurance expenses have posed a challenge in generating profits from the races. This year, the situation took a turn for the worse as the insurance company imposed a new requirement. They mandated that the race track must be dismantled after each event, significantly driving up the overall cost of organizing the races. This added financial burden has rendered the motocross races financially unsustainable for the department.
As a result, Center Point Fire & Rescue has opted to explore alternative avenues for fundraising. While bidding farewell to the long-standing motocross races, they are now focusing on developing and hosting other fundraising events to support their operations effectively. This strategic shift aims to ensure the financial stability of the department while engaging the community in new and exciting ways.
