Fort Collins Rugby Team Spearheading a Fundraising Drive for 2004 Fire Season
The local Fort Collins Rugby Club (FCRC) would like to offer to help those that help in keeping our state lush and beautiful. The Spring, Summer and Fall season of 2004 is going to be another dry hot season for the state of Colorado. Realizing the danger of fires again and the importance of local and visiting firefighters, FCRC would like to raise money to support the needs of these hard working men and women. A program has been set up to collect money that will be used to purchase bottled water, food, lodging and other needs. This is an opportunity for both private and business’s to get involved by donating any amount that will help and thank these dedicated firefighters all the way through the dry season.
We, as a community has watched in anticipation as firefighters fight some of the largest wild fires in our states history. Now we can show our support by helping in raising money to purchase items that can be used or needed while they are working so diligently in our communities. FCRC would like to encourage both private and business, in the Larimer and surrounding counties, to get in touch and commit to an amount that you would like to donate. The money will not be collected at this time, but when the time is needed a Rugby player will be in touch to collect the pre-determined amount. You will also be told to what your money is going to purchase and to what firefighting team it’s going to. As a team we would like to keep this program running all the way through the dry season.
For more information or to commit to a donated amount please contact Terje Whitmore, President (FCRC), at (970) 226-1420 or email Terjerugby@aol.com. Please be ready to give your private or business name and contact phone number along with an amount. Thank you.
