According to Christy Miro, pageant organizer, the 10 contestants raised more than $10,000 in raffle tickets and sponsorships which goes directly to the AMFD volunteer firefighters association. These funds are used largely to augment the Districts funding from local taxes which currently only totals about $60k/yr.
AMFD Chief John Rohrabaugh states “Operating a fire department on a small budget like ours takes a lot of creativity and hard work by our volunteers and supporters like the Jr. Miss Calaveras pageant, which is our single large fundraiser each year.”
