An event to raise money for the families of firefighters killed in the line of duty will be held at Red's Old 395 on Friday, July 29 from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The Wildland Firefighter Foundation is holding the event which includes a raffle, wild beard contest, Smoky Bear and other fun. The donations will come from $1 raffle ticket purchases and beard contest entries.
To donate, or for more information, contact Lindy McDonald at 775-220-7185.
The Foundation came together as a group of volunteers in 1994, shortly after the Storm King tragedy. With dedication and lots of volunteer work, plans were developed for a national monument to honor firefighters, a dream that was realized in May 2000. The Wildland Firefighter Foundation was officially formed in the spring of 1999 after their board members realized that there was a great need to have emergency support services for the families of fallen firefighters.
