"Downhill Skiing to Support an Uphill Climb”
Brother and Sister Firefighter,
The present and future of our heritage as firefighters lies in the youths that are approaching the age of adolescence. The role we play as firefighters and mentors is to nurture, train and attempt to instill the best examples possible. Being a proactive part of the Western New York Community, the North Boston Fire Company has joined an alliance with the Kids Escaping Drugs Campaign for the 11th Annual HoliMont SkiScape/ Lake Effect Firefighters Ski Race on Sunday, January 4, 2009 from 8AM-4PM at the HoliMont ski resort in Ellicottville, NY.
The Kids Escaping Drugs Campaign was created in 1987 with the sole purpose to raise, manage and distribute funds for the development and support of facilities, education and prevention programs for adolescents and their families in Western New York suffering from alcohol and drug dependency/addiction.
This event promises to accomplish many goals, the most significant being the camaraderie and public interaction with the proud tradition of the fire service, while raising funds to help curb an out of control epidemic that directly affects our livelihood as firefighters.
So, mark the date now, and please tell 100 of your closest friends! If you don't have a team of 4, call on neighbors for mutual aid, or register single and we will place you in a team.
What could be more fun then to see four firefighters wearing full protective equipment, on skis, linked together by carrying a 50ft length of 1 3/4" hose through a race course? Fastest Team wins and spills are frequent. (Complete list of rules will be furnished upon registration)
PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED! Firefighters MUST Pre-Register by December 20th
Donation for each team member is $50 which provides:
• Lift ticket to ski at HoliMont ($52 value)
• Bag of goodies
• Continental Breakfast
• Entry to compete in Ski Race
• Long Sleeve Tee shirt
• Lunch
• Après Ski Party
