The Foundation has always been grateful for the support of the firefighter community. From the start, New York City firefighters gave their enthusiasm and spare change. Today, the Foundation still receives checks from firehouses that are the total of individual contributions. Firefighters also purchase gifts for the Burn Center and attend Foundation-hosted events.
The Foundation now seeks to build on its traditional base of financial support and broaden its reach to welcome involvement from beyond the firefighting community. With your gift, the Foundation can continue to grow and expands its programs.
"Fundraising Efforts
Include The Public"
Memorial and special occasion cards
One of the most poignant ways the Foundation raises money is through the sale of memorial and special occasion cards. Friends and family, often beyond the actual firefighter community, can honor the memory of a loved one with a living tribute in the form of a Burn Center Memorial Card. This beautiful card is a unique way to remember a deceased loved one while giving life, hope and care to burn victims. Special occasion cards are also available. Well-wishers can honor someone's anniversary, new job, retirement, birthday or promotion, while contributing to the Foundation. These cards have even been thoughtfully used in lieu of wedding favors.
Corporate and private gifts
Please join a special group of individuals and corporate benefactors who recognize and support the cause of caring for the region’s burn survivors. You will be in a prestigious circle of many private philanthropists who have donated anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000. Sponsors include corporations and philanthropic organizations such as United Way, Macy’s, Verizon, Ralph Lauren, Engelhard Hanovia, and the National Fire Sprinkler Association.
"Fundraising Began In
The Firehouse"
A proud legacy of philanthropy
The Burn Center was built by a grassroots effort on behalf of the firefighter community. That spirit continues to support the Foundation and its mission. The Foundation organizes fundraising events including a golf outing, road races, walk-a-thons, skiing events, and other sporting and recreational efforts. Firefighters and their families are enthusiastic supporters of these activities, but these events are also open to the public. The larger community is encouraged to attend, have fun and support our important work.
A selection of items to purchase
The Foundation offers various items for sale that would be
of interest to the firefighting and general community.
Highlights among these offerings include:
• A 16-DVD collection of training videos produced by the
Fire Department of New York City (FDNY).
• Calendars, which include work schedules for City Firefighters.
• Striking reproductions of original oil paintings depicting various scenes of firefighters in action. The original paintings are on display at the FDNY Bureau of Training located on Randall’s Island, New York City.
