2022-09-10 04:19:31 By : Ms. Susan Chen

You are invited to attend the Fire Boot Classic and support firefighters and their families on Saturday, October 1, 2022 at Castaway Burbank.

Special guest MC Ellen Leyva, ABC7 Eyewitness News Anchor, will take us through an action-packed evening featuring:

• Poker tournament and fun games • Gourmet dinner under the stars • Hosted cocktail reception • Presentation to an exceptional honoree – Greg Fish, Fire Chief of Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District • Tempting silent auction packages • Photo booth

“Firefighters sacrifice their personal safety to help others by responding to fires, disasters, car accidents and health crises. Now is our time to step up to help those who support us on our worst days. Attending our Fire Boot Classic is fun and provides needed funds for our core programs,” said Elizabeth Dever, Executive Director. This event funds the Foundation’s four core programs, which provide support and financial assistance to firefighters and their families in need: relief grants to firefighter families facing hardship, annual college scholarships to the children of firefighters, disaster relief to firefighters who have lost their homes, and grants to other fire charities.

“Join us by sponsoring, attending or donating to our auction by visiting: www.firebootclassic.org.” Questions? Call Robyn Popp, Development Associate, at 323-550-2208.

Tickets are $275. Tickets for firefighters and those who purchase a table of 10 are $225.

Castaway Restaurant is located at 1250 E. Harvard Road in Burbank.

About the Fire Family Foundation

After September 11, 2001, when 343 New York City firefighters were lost in the World Trade Center attack, Firefighters First Federal Credit Union was entrusted with charitable donations made by members of the fire service and the community. The incredible response resulted in the vision to establish a nonprofit Foundation focused on serving the firefighting community. In 2008, the Fire Family Foundation was established. The Fire Family Foundation’s mission is to provide support and financial assistance to firefighters and their families in times of need. Firefighters First Federal Credit Union supports the Fire Family Foundation’s overhead costs, so 100% of donations to the Foundation go directly to support its mission and programs.
