The 2008 Fundraising Season was a Great Success and the 2009 Season is Off to a Great Start!  Go to the Fund-Raising page for more information on the events planned for 2009.

Thank you to the Edmonds community for supporting the EFSF fund-raising events again during 2008. The funds that were raised allowed the foundation to purchase a RAD-57 Signal Extraction Pulse Co-Oximeter to measure blood carbon monoxide levels and to contribute a significant amount toward the purchase of special protective eye wear for all the members of the Edmonds Fire Department.

 

The Pop in-the Park Booth on July 4th was a success!  The weather was beautiful and we had a great crowd at the park to watch the annual Water Ball Competition sponsored by the Edmonds Volunteer Firefighters. 

Pop, chips, cookies, caramel corn, and foundation T-shirts were for sale during the competition.  As always the kids had a great time getting wet from the spray during the water ball battles. FUN was had by all!  We want to thank the following sponsors:  Mike’s Deli-Mart, Paige Lizbeth’s Caramel Corn, Petosa’s, QFC, Safeway and Top Foods.

Once again, we hope you will join us on July 4th, 2009 at the City Park following the parade at our annual Pop in-the Park Booth!  We will be selling pop, chips, cookies, caramel corn, foundation T-shirts and “The Edmonds Fire Department Celebrating 100 Years” book before and during the Water-Ball Competition sponsored by the Edmonds Volunteer Firefighters.

 

 

 

The 2008 Garage Sale was well attended.  We had a lot of wonderful items donated and shoppers found a lot of treasures during the two day sale. We want to thank Armadillo Self Storage for providing storage units to hold the donated items until the sale. We also want to thank Sound Disposal and the Nicholson family for all their help before, during and after the sale.

The 2009 Annual Garage Sale will be July 24th and 25th, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, at 520 Forsyth Lane, Edmonds.

We are accepting donated items in good condition now for the garage sale. Please contact our President, Greg Jorgenson, at 425-772-8115 to make arrangements for the foundation to pick up your donated items. Once again Armadillo Self Storage, in Edmonds, has generously donated storage space to hold the items until the sale in July.

 

Our 2008 Annual Raffle was our most successful to date. The 1920’s-style pedal car Fire Engine was a big hit with young and old.  We were fortunate to have other prizes donated by Anthony’s Homeport Restaurant, Arnie’s Restaurant, Baskin-Robbins, Mike’s Deli-Mart and Starbucks (downtown Edmonds store). Coldwell Banker Bain employees each year have been very supportive of this event and this year was no exception.  The raffle engine was on display at their office most days and raffle tickets were always available for purchase. 

The grand prize winner for the fire engine was Jane Hansen.

Our 2009 Annual Raffle Ticket Sale has started.

Grand prize is a 1920’s style Fire Engine Pedal Car.

Tickets can be purchased NOW for $1.00 each at Coldwell Banker Bain, 108 5th Ave S, Edmonds or most Saturdays at the Farmers’ Market in Downtown Edmonds starting in June. The drawing will be held September 26, 2009 at the Summer Farmers’ Market.
