Pancake breakfast to benefit Project Safety Net Palo Alto firefighters to serve flapjacks at fundraiser Saturday From Palo Alto Online Project Safety Net's first annual Pancake Breakfast is scheduled for Oct. 20. The fundraiser is the brainchild of Palo Alto firefighters, who had been looking to forge a relationship with a local charity. "We felt a connection with PSN (Project Safety Net)," Palo Alto Fire Department Captain Carter French said. Referring to the youth suicide cluster in 2008-2009, he said, "When those suicides were happening, we had to deal with that. It was difficult." Carter said that the partnership with PSN "is the perfect connection. We want to help bring awareness and funding to this organization," he said. Facebook chefs will also be on hand for the breakfast event and plan to do the actual pancake cooking. Other activities include a fire engine show, a jaws-of-life demonstration, door prizes and a safety fair. It takes place Saturday, Oct. 20, at Fire Station 6 on the Stanford campus, 711 Serra St., starting at 9 a.m. Tickets are $5. Friday, October 19 is the 3rd anniversary of Will's death. We love and miss him dearly. The partnership of PA Firefighters and Project SafetyNet (PSN) is wonderful. If you are in the area, please support the partnership by attending the 1st annual Pancake Breakfast at the fire station on Stanford Campus this Saturday. Janet Dixon-Dickens
