Andy Valenta, a Firefighter/Paramedic with 12 years of service with the Vista Fire Department, was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma on January 8th, 2021. Stage 4 cancer has spread to his brain, lungs, and bones. Andy is a boisterous member of the Vista Fire Family, touching the lives of all around him through his infectious smile, positivity, and compassion. Now the support and love he has provided to so many over the years are needed by his own family as they deal with this challenging chapter in their lives.
The Vista Firefighter’s Association Local 4107 and Vista Sheriff’s have teamed up with local businesses to raise money to support the Valenta family during these trying times.
Please join us for a drive-thru BBQ sponsored by Primo BBQ and Rollin’ Roots (vegan cuisine). 100% of your payment will go directly to the Valenta family.
COVID-19 restrictions will be followed.
