ΑπΑ§ΙρΙη Professional Firefighters Charitable Society used lots of sunscreen and drank tons of water during the Roof Sit fundraiser at ΑπΑ§ΙρΙη Yacht Club over the weekend.
The event raised approximately $5,000 for the charity by tear-down around noon Sunday (July 17), but ΑπΑ§ΙρΙη firefighter Steven Meyer said they still had to do a final count.
βWe basically build our bank account so that throughout the year when we find somebody that is in need of a little bit of assistance weβve got the bank account to help them,β he said.
Meyer said 100 per cent of the dollars raised goes back into the community.
βWe wouldnβt be able to do it without the community. Theyβre the ones that put the money in the boot,β Meyers said. βTheyβre too good.β
