San Antonio Rampage News Release

SAN ANTONIO (Mar. 14, 2007) - Fire and ice collide when the San Antonio Rampage honor the local firefighters and law enforcement officers at their 3rd Annual Salute to the Badges Night on Friday when they host the Iowa Stars at the AT&T Center at 7 p.m.

The event is a joint effort between the fire and law enforcement departments to raise money and awareness for the Alamo Area Fire and Police Memorial (AAFPM). The Phoenix Coyotes affiliate will wear specially designed jerseys that will be auctioned off to the public following the game.

The Rampage jerseys feature the Rampage bull head wearing hats representing the police, fire and sheriff's departments. The upper left side features the American Flag AAFPM logo which includes peace officer and firefighter badges with the traditional black memorial stripe. The proceeds from the auction will benefit the AAFPM.

The AAFPM is dedicated to building a memorial, planned for the corner of Alamo and Market Streets, in memory of local servants that gave their lives for Bexar County. The memorial will feature names of both full-time and volunteer firefighters and law enforcement officials that have died in the line of duty. Last year, the Rampage raised $13,400 to benefit the AAFPM.

According to the AAFPM, 75 law enforcement officers and 24 firefighters from 18 departments have died in the line of duty in Bexar County. More information about the AAFPM can be found on their website at www.aafpm.com.

Tickets are available and can be purchased at the AT&T Center Box Office, by calling the Rampage at (210) 444-5554, or by visiting the team's website at www.sarampage.com.
