“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 12th
Annual HoliMont SkiScape/ Lake Effect Firefighters Ski Race on Sunday,
January 3, 2010 from 8AM-4:30PM 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. Come join hundreds of firefighters from all over WNY, Southern
Ontario, Rochester and the Hudson Valley in competing in this years Lake
Effect Firefighter Ski Race!
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)
