Hot fire fighters strut their stuff for charity

On Thursday, May 20, thirty-five Washington State firefighters will be strutting their stuff trying to influence a panel of judges to select them to be in the 2011 Firefighter Calendar benefiting the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters Burn Foundation.  

For the past sixteen years the Burn Foundation has produced a calendar to raise money for their charity.  The judges come from other charity auctions where they have bid to get the position and the money raised from these auctions is split between the charity sponsoring the auction and the burn foundation. Other judges are local radio and TV personalities.

The WSCFF Burn Foundation is an organization here in Shoreline run exclusively by fire fighters, active and retired. It was formed in 1987 to provide funding for burn research programs to benefit the many burn victims across the country. Since its inception the mission has been expanded to include burn prevention education, smoke detector programs and sponsorship of children to a week long burn camp.

This year the event is being held at Showbox SoDo, 1700 First Ave S, Seattle 98134. Doors open at 7 pm and the fun begins at 8 pm. This is an over 21 event. Tickets are on sale at Ticketmaster and at the Showbox SoDo box office.
