The American Lung Association’s “Fight for Air” Climb is being held
at the North Charleston Coliseum on Saturday, July 28, 2012. We are asking all
firefighters to join this very worthwhile event to support the ALA and their
efforts. Fire department teams from other cities will be coming to Charleston
to compete in this very worthwhile event.
Charleston Fire Department Battalion Chief John Winn will be
honored this year as the first place trophy for the top fundraising fire
department team will now be called the “John Winn Memorial Trophy”, given
in his honor by the Charleston Firefighter Support Team. Chief Winn passed away
just last month after battling lung cancer and was an avid supporter of the
ALA. This award will be a traveling
trophy, presented to the first place team to keep until the next year’s
competition. It is a full-size firefighter
helmet mounted on a specially designed walnut base that will stand as a lasting
tribute to Chief Winn.
Please contact Gerald Mishoe at (843) 609-8300 if you have
any questions or visit the event’s website for more information and to enter.
