Our St. Paul community honors fallen volunteer firefighter Austin Smith in a way that would make him proud by honoring all first responders at the June 30 St. Paul Rodeo performance. All Police, Fire, and EMTs will receive a $2 discount for each ticket purchased for this performance. We will pay special tribute to all our first responders this evening.
Austin Smith, St. Paul Fire Department Volunteer Firefighter, was killed at the age of 30 in an explosion on February 3, 2022. Austin was a volunteer in every way; giving back to his community was a passion.
Act Now - Fundraiser Benefitting the St. Paul Fire Department
All donations received until July 5, 2022, will be designated to the St. Paul Fire Department in Austin Smith's name. Austin was a beloved member of the St. Paul Rodeo Family and the St. Paul Community. Our goal is to raise $65,000 to purchase an extrication tool set for the St. Paul Fire Department to replace 40-year-old equipment that is no longer functional with current vehicles.
RESULTS of this FUNDRAISER: St. Paul Rodeo Foundation donated over $75,000 to the St. Paul Rural Fire Department to be used for equipment updates in St. Paul in honor of Austin Smith. July, 2022
