Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Every day, lives are saved and touched by Puerto Vallarta's first responders. As a way of saying thanks, local businesses and residents are sponsoring the making of the 2016 Heroes Calendar, which will be sold to raise funds for Puerto Vallarta's fire fighters, lifeguard and paramedics.

After "auditioning" scads of local fire fighters, lifeguards, and paramedics, 24 of our city's first-responders will be chosen to pose for the calendar, which isn't just about hunky bods, but serves as a reminder that we need to appreciate the real heroes - fire fighters and emergency workers - who are busy saving lives and property 24-7.

Once the pictures have all been taken and the ink on the printing press has dried, these Vallarta heroes are going to be turning up the heat at the 2016 Heroes Calendar launch party in early November.

It's going to get smokin' hot at La Noche when the 2016 Puerto Vallarta 'Heroes' calendar is launched on Wednesday, November 11th at 6 pm. Local fire fighters and lifeguards will be on hand to take a moment out from putting out flames to start sparking a few fires of their own.

The 14-month calendars will sell for just $200 pesos with proceeds funding continuing education scholarships. Organizers expect to raise $250,000 pesos during the upcoming campaign. The Release Party will feature special appearances, drink specials, raffle and lots of surprises.
