Coors Banquet, the official beer of Safeco Field, stepped up to the plate with a generous donation to the Western Wildlands Firefighters Foundation. On field for the presentation were Dan and Barbara Lyon, the parents of Daniel Lyon, the U.S Forest Service firefighter who was critically burned last month near Twisp.
Coors donated $251,600 to the Foundation, which supports firefighters and the families of firefighters injured or killed in the line of duty. Coors contributed 25-cents from the sale of every case of Coors Banquet sold in the West during July and August. The fundraiser is part of Coors’ “Protect Our West” program.
