The Three Legged Bar Crawl and Bomberos Fundraiser is scheduled for Saint Patrick’s Day! Each year, teams enter this hilarious race and through their entries and generous sponsors they raise money for much-needed equipment and training for the Playa del Carmen fire department (Bomberos). Read below for further details....... Here are the details of this year’s event: When: Saturday, March 17th, 2012 Registered teams must raise at least $ 600.00 MN in donations. Part of the $ 600.00 MN will go to purchase the drinks for the teams, with the balance going to help raise funds for the upcoming Bombero’s Academy. Obviously, the more money raised the better! As always, there is no set patter or order that teams must run in, but they all must visit every bar on the list, consume a shot of tequila or a beer, and then get their race card signed by the staff member in charge at each bar. Participating bars include: In his years acting as Comandante of the Bomberos, Brian Borjesson has taken a small “bucket brigade” and he has created a first class well-trained fire department. In addition to providing supplies and equipment, he has implemented a training program for fire departments throughout Quintana Roo and beyond. Brian has done this through the help of US firefighters from Colorado and California, who together with their Mexican counterparts, and our local community, have made our area a safer place for everyone. Each year the expertise and equipment needed to train the Bomberos of Quintana Roo at the Fireman’s Academy come as a result of fund raising events and donations. This year will be the 11th Annual Training Academy. This weeklong training academy is often the only training our firemen will get all year, so it is of the utmost importance for our firefighters to be able to participate in the academy.
