Calendar party raises $50K for Puerto Vallarta Firefighters

Hundreds packed La Noche Lounge and Rooftop Bar in Puerto Vallarta last night for the unveiling of the 2016 Heroes’ Calendar featuring the men and women of the Puerto Vallarta Fire Department and Lifeguards.

International recording artist, Kim Kuzma, and Las Vegas headliner, Lorena Peril, kicked off the fun and the highly anticipated parade of calendar models.

The evening featured an auction with donations from Villa Rosa, Casa Isabel, La Perla Boutique Bed and Breakfast , Francine Peters, Flyboard PV, Cinemex, Israel Blanco DDS, and the Puerto Vallarta Fire Department. Winner of the 50/50 raffle, Rich Kaufman and Diana Decoste graciously donated the funds back to the Department. Radio Switch was also on hand to join in on the evening festivities. Organizers, Tim Longpre and Gary Green, wish to thank Kevin Johnson and his staff at La Noche for making the kick-off so special.

The special event raised $50,000 pesos of the $300,000 pesos goal for this year’s calendar that benefits the Puerto Vallarta firefighters and lifeguards. Past calendars have provided important training and equipment to first responders in the area.

The 15-month calendar is just $200 pesos and now available at several south side locations including Saturday’s Farmers Market at Lazaro Cardenas Park, offices of PVRPV.com, Reinas, Apaches, Salud Super Food, La Noche Lounge and La Margarita. For a complete list of locations, please email [email protected]. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, 100% of the calendar sales will benefit the Department’s education programs, fund training programs and the purchase of lifesaving equipment.
