Cystic Fibrosis "Climb For A Cure" Results

Posted On: Feb 08, 2010 (23:11:59)


Saint Paul Fire finished third out twelve teams in the 29th annual Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s “Climb for a Cure” stair climbing competition held February 6, 2010 at the IDS Center in Minneapolis. Firefighters Jesse Schneider and Eric Hoel both led the Saintly city’s bravest up to the 50th floor, reaching the summit in 8 minutes and 44 seconds.

Minneapolis Fire won the overall competition for the fourth straight year, with the MFD’s Dan Casper taking the individual title with a time of 6 minutes and 35 seconds. Minneapolis Police took second place.

Thirty five climbers, including seven from celebrity partners KSTP Television, represented Saint Paul Fire in the event. More importantly, our department handed over $7,000 in contributions for Cystic Fibrosis research. The team wishes to thank Dan Cotroneo, representing the Police and Firefighters Association, for co-sponsoring the event and hosting the awards ceremony. Special thanks go out to Drew Pawlitschek, for his generous donation of $5,000 from the Saint Paul Firefighters’ 2010 calendar, and to all the firefighters of Local 21 for their contributions to this great cause.

The 2010 "Climb for a Cure" team members were: Chief Tim Butler, Jerry Deno, Brian Kroeger, Mike Aspnes, Jonathan Doane, Jeremy Barta, Neal Forrest, Greg Duren, Ken Gilliam, Mike Engle, Mike Hogan, Eric Popp, Dave Garcia, Jeff Eskierka, Marc Linsenman, Todd Fisher, Mike Hoy, Tom McDonough, Tommy McDonough, Will McDonough, Drew Pawlitschek, Jay Trombley, Jesse Schneider, Brent Knodle, Eric Hoel, Jim Hoel, Jeff Chermak, Erin Slaikeu, Leah McLean (KSTP), Jennifer Griswold (KSTP), Elizabeth Ries (KSTP), Melissa Specken (KSTP), Lee Zwiefelhofer (KSTP), Luke Garrison (KSTP), and Jake Kramar (KSTP).

2009 Salvation Army Bell Ringing Results

Posted On: Jan 19, 2010 (13:23:21)

The 2009 bell ringing effort by St. Paul Fire on behalf of the Salvation Army was amazingly successful.  We have been credited with collecting $24,262.61, a total that far exceeded expectations.  There were two "triple match" days from anonymous donors that helped to attain that number.  The traditional kettle is replaced with a fire boot and off duty firefighters in turn out gear volunteer their time to ring between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Firefighters are known to take in several times more than the regular bell ringers, and the Salvation Army is very grateful for our participation.  The money raised will go to support the many programs that the Salvation Army's Citadel Corp on Smith and 7th provides to the citizens of St. Paul.  MN Wild games took in $18,520.37 and included the triple match days, the Grand Meander totaled $1,886.84, Lund's $2,694.70, and Walgreen's $1,160.70.  Thanks to all who made it a great year despite dire predictions.
