OBT 12 acceptance emails go out tomorrow!

Only those selected will receive an email. If you don’t get selected this time, don’t get discouraged. Keep applying. Every class has applicants who apply multiple times before earning a spot.

Or better yet, grab a raffle ticket for a chance to get into OBT 12 while helping out one of our own. Every dollar raised goes toward supporting Jeff Mrwik in his fight against cancer!

Hey everyone,

Our brother,Jeff Mrwik, has recently been diagnosed with cancer, and we’re coming together to help support him and his family!

We’re raffling off one spot in OBT Class 12.

• $25 per entry
• Buy as many tickets as you’d like
• Even if you have no intention of attending OBT, consider purchasing tickets and gifting it to someone who would wants in!

Every single penny raised will go directly toward Jeff’s treatment and recovery fund.

The winner will be selected during a live drawing on June 14th.

To enter:
• Use the Venmo QR code on the flyer
• Include your FULL name and “OBT Raffle” in the Payment comments on Venmo.

Anyone who knows Jeff knows he’s one of the good ones. He has given countless hours to the fire service and has always been willing to help others without expecting anything in return. Now it’s our turn to help him.

Please share this post, tag your friends, and help us spread the word.

Let’s rally around one of our own and show Jeff what the fire service brotherhood is all about.

Thank you all for the support.
