🍎 WE HAVE OUR GRAND TOTAL! 🚘

The Central Square Apple Festival at Brewerton Speedway has come to a close, and we are absolutely blown away by the generosity of our community.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, bought merchandise, took a swing at the car smash, or dropped money in the donation bucket, we raised a grand total of $734.60 this weekend! 💰✨
Every penny of these funds goes directly to our mission here at Believe 31, providing vital cancer screenings, financial assistance, and support for our brave volunteer firefighters and first responders across Madison, Cortland, Onondaga, and Oswego counties. 🚒🚑

This event wouldn't have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our incredible members who were out there making it happen:

• Chris Centner
• Jerry Grudinski
• Natalie Guinta
• Joanna Harp
• Paul Knierman
• Matt Yaciuk

A huge final shout-out to our wonderful weekend partners:

• Caughdenoy Fire Department
• Central Square Fire Company
• Matt McGill Collision

Thank you all for helping us smash out cancer and support the frontline heroes who protect us every single day!

9/25 is a good day to remind you that Dolly Parton’s legendary “9 to 5” could help you save a life with Hands-Only CPR.

If you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest.

👉 Esophageal Precancer Screening Day 👈

Believe 31 is proud to help bring an important Esophageal Precancer Screening opportunity to our firefighters and first responders at An Afternoon of Hope at Heritage Hill with Believe 31

Cancer continues to impact the fire service at an alarming rate. Early detection matters. This screening is designed to identify precancerous changes, including Barrett’s Esophagus, before they have the opportunity to progress.

Saturday, October 3, 2026
11:30 AM – 4:00 PM
Heritage Hill Brewhouse
3149 Sweet Road, Jamesville, NY 13078

Research cited by the Firefighter Cancer Support Network reports that firefighters face an increased risk associated with esophageal cancer, including a 39% increased risk of dying from esophageal cancer.

EsoGuard is designed to detect molecular changes associated with Barrett’s Esophagus (BE) and esophageal adenocarcinoma. The goal is simple: identify precancerous changes early so appropriate follow-up and treatment can occur before they develop into cancer.

There is no out-of-pocket cost to the firefighter or department. Insurance will be billed, but participants will not be responsible for any portion not covered, including if insurance denies coverage.

Medicare patients: Lucid Diagnostics is currently holding Medicare claims while awaiting an anticipated Medicare coverage policy. Participants will have no out-of-pocket cost the claim will either be covered or will not be submitted.

If you participate in an HRA through your insurance (not an HSA or FSA), please notify a Lucid representative before screening, as an additional step may be necessary.

Please bring your driver’s license and medical insurance card. Participants must also be NPO for two hours before testing, no food or liquids for two hours prior to your appointment.

Eligibility is determined through the Risk Factor Questionnaire, with participants needing a combination of 3 of the 8 identified risk factors to qualify.

Appointments are limited, and we would like to fill every available screening slot.

This is not an annual screening. Even getting screened once can provide important information, and screening may be repeated in the future if an individual’s risk-factor profile changes.

You spend your career protecting others. Take a few minutes to protect yourself.

Just under a week left, hope to see you all there!!!

Yesterday was a highly active stretch for our volunteers at Caughdenoy VFD. 5 times in a single day with an average of 5 members for each call:

1:18 AM – Deck Fire
Late Morning – Gas Odor Investigation
Late Afternoon – Staged for a Water Rescue
Evening – EMS Call immediately followed with a Motor Vehicle Accident

Incidents like these require teamwork, diverse skills, and people willing to step up when neighbors face their worst days. We need more hands on the line. You do not need prior experience. We provide all the training and gear for free. Whether you want to fight fires, assist with medical calls, or help with scene support, there is a place for you here. Answer the call.
