OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
CT-Moms, a local group of over 300 moms in Fairfield County, have organized a county-wide fire safety awareness and fundraising event called A Show of Support. The informal, family-friendly, one hour event, open to the public, will take place on Saturday, February 25th, at 10am, simultaneously at participating fire stations between Stratford and Greenwich, and is designed to allow local residents to show, through attendance and improved fire safety education, their solidarity with families like the Badgers who have suffered fire-related tragedies and their support for their local fire stations. Participating fire stations (listed below) will offer informative demonstrations, tips and open question-and-answer sessions for both children and adults, firehouse and truck tours, interactive instruction for use of safety and rescue equipment, and more. Some stations will have giveaways, offer light snacks, and a fire-themed craft project to occupy any children in attendance. A suggested donation of $20 per family will be divided among local participating firehouses as well as The Other 364 Foundation, in honor of the Badger family in Stamford. Donations can also be made online at www.ctmomsonline.com.
