More than two decades ago, Al Kahn, an icon in children’s entertainment licensing, started First Responders Children’s Foundation (FRCF) to support the 800 children who lost a parent during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City. Al recognized the urgent need for assistance and organized a family event in Manhattan on Thanksgiving morning to honor and uplift the surviving children and their families—an annual tradition that continues to this day. FRCF has since evolved into a thriving national organization that provides year-round services and programs to first responder children and families.
