Put Yourself in Our Boots launch party

The John Petropoulos Memorial Fund (JPMF) is very excited to announce the launch of the Put Yourself in Our Boots workplace safety campaign. The campaign - which will begin later this year and continue throughout 2010 - includes a short safety video, 3 video public service announcements (PSAs), radio PSAs, print PSAs, an info booklet and a major online component.

The campaign offers a fresh way of looking at workplace safety and it encourages businesses to think about workplace safety for everyone, including police, fire and EMS workers.

Before Put Yourself in Our Boots is launched publicly, the JPMF will be hosting a launch party to recognize those who have spent the last year working on the project. Those who have worked on the campaign, as well as JPMF volunteers and project stakeholders, will be invited to a special screening of the video and PSAs. They will also be treated to great food and a silent auction at Stix Sports Bar, located at 5255 Richmond Rd SW in Calgary, on Nov. 28, 2009.

But in order for the silent auction to be a success, we need great silent auction prizes!

If you can help out, please contact JPMF Managing Director Ian Wilson at or 403-891-4269 or fill out the form below. The JPMF will gladly recognize your contribution at the event and online through our website, as well as our social networking pages.
