Hoops game to raise funds for paramedic
Firefighters from Newport Beach, Fountain Valley and Garden Grove
will play a basketball game on Saturday against the Chinese Junior
Olympic Men’s team to generate support for Newport Beach paramedic
Brian Slater, who was injured in a bodysurfing accident last month.
Admission to the game is free. However, firefighters will be
accepting donations and passing a boot allowing guests to make a
donation for Slater. All of the money raised during the event will go
directly to the Newport Beach Fire Assn., which has set up a fund to
help the family.
The game will begin at 8 p.m. at Tustin High School, at 1171 El
Camino Real in Tustin. For more information, call the Newport Beach
Firefighters Assn. at (949) 646-0533.
