2009 El Paso Firefighter Calendar

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Unveiling of the 2009 El Paso Heroes Firefighter Combat Challenge Calendar


El Paso, Texas NOVEMBER 25, 2008— The El Paso Firefighter Combat Challenge Team is comprised of career paid El Paso Firefighters who compete on a world stage annually in a series of grueling events which are designed to showcase the strength, fitness and overall heart needed in this time honored service. Qualifying in nine consecutive seasons for the World Championships, your El Paso team consistently competes with and ranks among the top 10 best fire Departments in the WORLD! As a member of the team, demanding physical prowess is only a portion of the responsibilities. Throughout the year the team attends and volunteers countless hours working with The Muscular Dystrophy Association, Sierra Providence, The Race for the Cure, and the Miracle League. Because of the big expense of traveling for these events, this elite team has decided to conduct a fundraiser with the very first El Paso Heroes “Firefighter combat Challenge Calendar 2009”. The firefighters featured on the calendar will be on hand to fan romantic and patriotic flames for party goers at the calendar's official debut on Thursday, December 4, at The Three Legged Monkey (1550 Hawkins Blvd) from 11am-2am. Party goers will get a first-hand look at the sexy heroes as well as autographed Calendars. The glossy, full-color calendar sells for $10 (a great stocking stuffer) and features spectacular photos of firefighters from the elite combat challenge team in various dramatic scenes. (Although we can't guarantee that you'll see a shirtless firefighter come to your next rescue.) The Owner of The Three Legged Monkey has agreed to sell a special food plate that patrons can purchase. All proceeds from the sale of this special dish will be given to the Elite Team. The Press Conference will begin at 7pm with the unveiling of the Calendar and Live Music from the band “Paper Street” will follow.
