February 20, 2009 Firefighters from Bonita Springs Fire-Rescue will challenge the Citrus Park Mobile Community All-Stars in two softball games Sunday.
The event will be held at Citrus Park (off East Terry Street and at the end of Morton Grove). The game between the firefighters and Citrus Park will be held at 1 p.m. and will be followed by a fun-for-all co-ed softball game at 2:30 p.m. As an added gift, Citrus Park is making this a fundraiser for the BSFD Explorer’s Post and for the SAFE (Smoke Alarms For Every) Home Project by collecting funds before the event within the park. This event is being organized by Henri Gagne, who went into cardiac arrest on the softball field a couple years ago. With a fast response and assistance from bystanders, firefighters and paramedics were able to revive Gagne.
