The calendar cuties will fire up the crowd in support of Here's Help and A Safe Haven for Newborns charities.

The unveiling will be hosted by South Florida's own radio and television personality Jade Alexander. Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach's sexiest flame battlers will greet fans, pose for pictures, and sign the $17 calendars in the club district area of Seminole Paradise.

About A Safe Haven for Newborns

A Safe Haven for Newborns began in response to the tragedy of infant abandonment in Florida. The Safe haven law is a safety net for both the mother and the newborn infant. Instead of abandoning a newborn to an almost sure death, it allows mothers, fathers or whoever is in possession of an unharmed newborn, approximately seven days old or less, to leave them at a Safe Haven facility - any hospital staffed 24/7, fire rescue station or emergency medical service station staffed 24/7 - with no questions asked, totally anonymous and free from fear of prosecution. Gloria M. Silverio Foundation – "A Safe Haven for Newborns" is a private, non-profit organization, tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
