10 Easy Ways To Positively Improve Your Romantic Relationship Today
Here are a few good tips on how to put the appreciation back in your relationship.
The months of the year have never looked so good as in this glorious calendar with outdoor photos of 12 life-saving firemen. The best part is, their shirts came off for charity: 12 charities chosen by the firemen, including one heart-warming camp for child burn victims, will receive all the profits sales of the 2012 calendars.
Lieutenant Jeremy Finney is inspired by the benefits coming from this calendar of muscle-bound fire fighters. Finney became director recently for a camp that brings joy to children and teens who have been burned in fires. An article in the Tampa Tribune yesterday, Kids Get Shirt Off His Back, gave Jeremy a chance to tout his camp, along with the fundraising calendar.
"Let's face it, kids can be cruel," he says. "Camp Hopetake gives them a chance to socialize where they're not outcasts. After all the physical pain, which I can't even fathom, they have to endure the physical, emotional and psychological scars.
"I'm sorry, I tear up when I talk about it. I'm extremely passionate about this camp. When the kids come together, you can just watch them flourish."
Finney and other firefighters take the children on a weeklong whirlwind tour each June, with trips to the beach, Adventure Island, Busch Gardens, Universal Studios and more. It costs more than $1,000 a child, and that's where the calendar comes in.
If you live in the Tampa, Fla area, stop by the firemen's museum tonight (Oct. 13) for an all-you-can-eat 3-hour event featuring music, drinks and autographs from Mr. July. Tickets are $25 each and calendars will be available.
The calendars, called Nation's Bravest: Firefighters Unite 2012, are purchased at cost by firefighters unions, then sold for $19.95, with the profits all going to the charities.
Please support the effort by purchasing (perhaps a few Christmas gifts?) at the website: www.nationsbravest.com.
