The City of Wyoming Fire & EMS is spinning up excitement as their Turkey Raffle approaches. In a recent social media post, they invited the community to participate in this cherished annual event. "Friends and supporters of the Wyoming Firefighters Association, it’s time to order your tickets for the Turkey Raffle!" the City of Wyoming Fire & EMS post announced on Facebook. Tickets are up for grabs and will be delivered next week, available also at the event itself.
The raffle offers participants a shot to not only win a fresh turkey but also to engage directly with their local firefighters. Doors are set to open at 6:00 pm for an evening that promises drinks, pizza, and a silent auction. "This year we will be opening the doors at 6:00 for drinks and pizza, a silent auction, and a time to meet your firefighters and learn more about what we do," the post reads, accentuating the community-centric spirit of the night.
Much more than a festive gathering, this event stands as the sole fundraiser of the year for the Wyoming Firefighters Association. It underpins a range of community services, including Easter Egg Hunts, CPR classes, and fire prevention education. The Association clearly states the importance of this event to their operations: "For us it means our only fundraiser of the year, which allows us to continue to do the important work in the community that we love to do," according to the City of Wyoming Fire & EMS.
The Firefighters Association also recognizes that not everyone can make it to the raffle, but their door remains open for support through other means. "Can’t make it to the raffle? We’d still really love your support. Consider making a tax-deductible donation," according to the City of Wyoming Fire & EMS, they encourage, offering an avenue for those who still want to contribute to the wellbeing of their community. The contributions are vital for the volunteer department to continue their passionate service.
