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