THANK YOU FIREFIGHTERS & FIRST RESPONDERS!

We are forever grateful to our firefighters and first responders for saving our town from the Caldor Fire! That’s why we started a donation program to buy these heroes a beer. Or two…or three.

Donations closed on September 15th and gift cards were mailed/emailed to firefighters and first responders. We also added our own donation to each gift card — the price of a pint was added on as an additional thank you from us for saving our town! Thank you to everyone who donated!

Total donations: $4,605 raised

101 firefighters and first responders signed up

Our community also expressed their appreciation through an abundance of thank you messages. Below are those messages:
