What an unforgettable evening
Last night, we celebrated 25 years of First Responders Children’s Foundation alongside first responder families, supporters, partners, and community leaders from across the country. From the historic CSX Business Train’s inaugural arrival into Grand Central Terminal to a powerful gala celebration at Gotham Hall, the night honored our past while looking ahead to the future of the families we serve.

Today, on International Firefighters Day, we recognize and thank the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to protect others. Your courage, commitment, and selflessness do not go unnoticed.
We’re also proud to have two firefighters on our own team—Haley & Chad, who embody that same dedication in all they do. Haley carries on a family legacy of service, with both her mom and grandmother serving as firefighters, and Chad is a proud father of two sons who are continuing that tradition in Fire/EMS. Thank you for the impact you make both in the workplace and beyond.
