Hot Firefighters
More than 900 women (and a few brave men) came out to see Colorado's sexy, shirtless firefighters hit the catwalk last Friday. Fired Up For Kids, a nonprofit organization that supports The Children's Hospital Burn Center, raised $25,000 at the event. Not only did the 27 studs (and one studette) don suspenders, they also competed for a coveted spot in the 2009 Colorado Firefighter Calendar.
Enter to win a copy of the 2008 calendar. (I have one currently hanging in my office!) Unfortunately, you'll have to wait until August to see the 2009 Calendar and find out who the winners are. For more information about purchasing the calendars, Visit www.firedupforkids.org.
