Please vote!! - Click here for complete story, it will touch your heart!
We have the great opportunity to support a fire station for their work with a person with Down’s Syndrome. Station 10 of the Hanover County, VA Fire Department (Chickahominy) is a finalist in the Firedog Across America contest, sponsored by Circuit City.
They were named a finalist out of over 5,100 entrants, specifically for their work with a gentleman in the community who has Down Syndrome. The members have taken him in as an associate member of the station, and it has done wonders for both him and the firefighters.
Between now and May 13th, people will have the chance to vote for which finalist they like the best. Every vote earns a $1 donation from Circuit City to that station, and the firehouse with the most votes receives an additional $100,000.Station 10 is currently in 2nd place in the voting, and needs our help to win the Grand Prize.
The link to vote for the station is attached. You can watch the short video and read the essay that was submitted to get a feel for the impact they’ve had on the community. It is a true inspiration.
