Inspired by the Ice Bucket Challenge, the CEO Soak is a gathering of local CEOs, managers and community leaders who line up to get sprayed with water by ECFR firefighters. Throughout the fundraising event, over $20,000 was raised towards research to find a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.
"Escambia County Fire Rescue was happy to partner with the Florida Chapter of the ALS Foundation and support a great cause like the CEO Soak," said Deputy Fire Chief Paul Williams. "We look forward to our continued partnership and support of this event."
