Making a Difference: Fire & Rain Firefighter Bachelor Auction
Firefighters might be best known for putting out flames, but on Saturday, June 19th the tides turned as they heated up Rain Nightclub inside the Palms Casino Resort. Eighteen of Southern Nevada’s bravest firefighters upped the temp to smokin’ hot degrees when they took the stage for the 11th Annual Fire & Rain Firefighter Bachelor Auction.
Of course, there’s little to complain about sweltering indoor heat when it’s for a good cause, and as a fundraiser for The Firefighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation, that it was. A non-profit organization, the Burn Foundation’s mission is to provide assistance to burn victims and their families, assist in catastrophic events as a resource to the community and to further educate the community of fire and life safety.
“A lot of hard work went into making this event a big success,” said Warren Whitney, public information officer for the Burn Foundation. “We received a tremendous amount of support from our community partners, bachelors, volunteers and those who attended our event.” Those who attended amounted to roughly 550 and managed to raise $50,000 for the Burn Foundation. In the parlance of our times, “That’s hot.” For more information, visit www.theburnfoundation.org.
I’d love to participate in putting the event together. I have attended one of these.
