Profile

In times of chaos and every day on the job, first responders are heroes who keep our communities safe, calm and protected from harm.

Whether they are on or off the clock, they cannot pass a dire situation and not try to help. They seek to make our communities and the world a better place.

They are self-sacrificing. Every day, first responders put their lives on the line for our communities. They sacrifice time with their families and the traditional hours of a 9-to-5 job to protect our citizens. They put themselves in the line of fire (sometimes literally) for others they barely know. First responders are never self-centered and put others before themselves.

Thousands of dollars in grants have been donated by the foundation providing support during financial hardships to public safety personnel and their families.

Post Secondary Education Scholarships are given every year to eligible children of First Responders and volunteer First Responder students. In these first 5 years over 50 scholarships have been awarded.
