You can be an everyday hero to the families and co-workers of America’s fallen firefighters when you start a fundraiser to support the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF). When you choose to support the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation you help us honor and remember America’s fallen fire heroes, assist their families, and prevent firefighter line-of-duty deaths and injuries.
A time-honored tradition in the Fire Service, “Fill the Boot” campaigns raised funds in the community that were crucial for maintaining a fire department including equipment, apparatus, and other department needs. Firefighters are also big-hearted and generous, using this means of fundraising to help charities that they care about. Each gift matters, and people work together to accomplish big things to help their community.
Now we ask you, our community, to be an everyday hero to our families and our nation’s firefighters by starting your very own “Fill the Boot” fundraising campaign on our everyday hero giving site.
