Help support the children and families of first responders who have been killed or injured in the line of duty
Mission Statement
“I believe there is no more important mission than helping the children of our nation’s first responders and educating all children through the programs offered by these heroic organizations. This is a long-term commitment, a promise to the people who defend and protect us, and a major investment in the future of this nation. It is our responsibility as a society to ensure that these children achieve their full potential as active citizens and thriving members of the community. We’re grateful for your support in putting the children of our first responders first.”
Alfred R. Kahn, Founder & Chairman
