| Firefighters on the Roof Thursday, April 16, 2009 |
On Monday, Rocky Mount firefighters helped with an unusual fundraiser for the Nash County Relay for Life. Firefighters had to raise $100 from family, friends, or Chick-fil-A customers to be let down off the roof of Chick-Fil-A at Cobb Corners. Click here to view a slideshow of pictures from the fundraiser (courtesy of the Rocky Mount Telegram). Several city employees volunteer their time and resources for the annual Relay for Life fundraisers, which benefit the American Cancer Society. |
