Bald is beautiful. Cancer is not.

We face a lot of challenges in this line of work, and the biggest is cancer. Travis is a 25-year veteran of the Kirkland Fire Department. He is one of the toughest we have, but he still needs your help. The best ways to help: shave your head!

Join us on October 26th at 8am, at Fire Station 27 in Kirkland for our “Shave a Firefighter” event in support of cancer research. Your Kirkland firefighters, some of which have amazing hair cuts, will be shaving their heads for Travis.

Please consider donating what you can. Please come out and say hello on the 26th. And who knows, maybe we will let you do the shaving!

Thank you in advance for your support.
