My dear friends - I have a goal and need your help.  The men and women that put their lives on the line for all of us, each and every day are my heroes.  There are lots of wonderful people making neck coolers for our troops and God bless them.

My goal is to provide a neck cooler for every firefighter across the North America.  Ambitious, you say?  You bet ... but with your help I can accomplish it.

I recently spoke with one of the Captains from my local fire department and asked if they could use neck coolers.  If you had seen the look on his face - well, there just aren't enough words to describe.  He went on to tell me how they had a "handful" of them during one of the worst fires in this state's history and how they helped the men and women carry on, trying desperately to put this blaze out and wished they had more.  The few neck coolers that they did have were true lifesavers against not only the heat of the day and all the gear they have to wear but also against the heat of the flames.

So, will you help me accomplish my task? Will you spend $5.00? You won't be actually purchasing this neck cooler for yourself but will be purchasing it for a firefighter somewhere in North America.  If you like, your name will be added to the label as the person
who so generously gave.  Simply click in the box below.  The above talked about Captain has agreed to help in the distribution, along with several others.  The first of these have already been delivered to the happy faces of those inside the fire station.  I assure you that this is not a scam.  It is my sincere desire to make this happen.  My full name, address and phone number is on every package.

These polymer neck coolers will be in either navy or black and are approximately 36 inches in length, with a single polymer pocket of 16 inches.  Made of 60% Cotton/40% polyester.


There are three ways that you can help...

Thank you so much for your support in this goal and please help spread the word.  God bless and take care.  In order to purchase one of these for a deserving firefighter, simply click on the paypal button and follow the prompts.

If you would like to purchase a neck cooler for a Fire Fighter you know, please use this paypal button and I will gladly ship it directly to you or to a fire station of your choosing.  If you chose this option, there is a small S&H charge of $2.50.  Sending multiples?
