The Snoqualmie Firewings, a group of fathers and sons who meet as part of the YMCA Adventure Guides program, conducted several fundraisers this year, resulting in a donation of $4,669 to the YMCA annual campaign.
Fundraising activities included collecting and recycling aluminum cans, hosting a car wash, bocce ball tournament, pancake breakfast and a poker party. The boys also requested donations from family and friends.
The Snoqualmie Police Department helped the group in their effort on the car wash, and Snoqualmie Ridge TPC and Finaghty’s Irish Pub helped by saving aluminum cans.
Firewings activities focus on strengthening relationships and having a good time. Fathers try to teach their sons the importance of giving back to the community and taking action to make things happen.
The 2014-15 Firewings are Ryan and Hudson Baker, Adam and Cooper Britton, JB and Jack Champion, Paul and Joe Connors, Neil and Carson Crist, Jason and Luke Gardiner, Rob and Brock Gates, Josh and Levi Henretig, Bob and Ryan Holmgren, Jason and Tucker Koval, Johnny and JJ Lewis, Robert and Jake Lowden, Todd and Brady McGinnis, John Nuebel and Owen Olson, Brian and Colton Rose, David and Noah Smith, Kevin, Peyton, and Parker Stokesbary and Todd and Ryan Wilson.
The YMCA Adventure Guides are open to girls and boys in Kindergarten through third grade, along with their fathers.
