st. baldricks day fundraiser

1/3/08

Dear Brother and Sister Firefighters,

On March 8, 2008 Meriden Firefighters in conjunction with Quality Time Food and Spirits will be sponsoring a unique event to benefit “Conquer Kids Cancer”. We will be shaving our heads to raise money for this great cause. Two years ago on a whim, 15 Meriden Firefighters took part in a Saint Baldrick’s Day event in New Haven and with just 1 week of fundraising we raised 4,500 dollars. We had such a successful turn out and so much fun that we decided to bring this event in 2007 to Meriden at Quality Time Food and Spirits on Broad St. We surpassed our goal and raised over $50,000.00 in our first event in Meriden.

 This year we are confident that we can beat last years total for this great cause, this is where you come in. We are challenging all neighboring fire departments to get involved in this event. This event will kick start our St. Patrick’s Day week and what better way to celebrate than to go bald for a great cause.

Registering is easy just go to the following web site http://www.stbaldricks.org/  to the Quality Time event page. Click on one of the blocks to  register as a Shavee, volunteer, or to donate to this event. This web site has tons of useful information regarding this charity. If you have any other questions please feel  free to contact Lt. Ryan Dunn (rdunn@meridenfire.com), F.F Joe Erff (erff3@comcast.net) or Colleen Docherty at Quality Time Food and Spirits (colldoch@hotmail.com).

Thank you very much for your time and we hope to see you at this great event.

Sincerely
Ryan Dunn and Joe Erff

Thanks for your help in raising over $50,000 for this great cause in 2007.
