We are excited to share a video of a recent conversation with Bryan Tucker, Vice President for Corporate Communications at CSX and Jillian Crane, FRCF’s President and CEO. They discuss the importance of the CSX Pride in Service program and how it makes a positive impact on our communities.

Jillian and Bryan both highlight the significance of investing in the children of first responders through scholarships and community engagement programs, such as FRCF’s Toy Express program. They also emphasize the need for more mental health services and support for first responder families.

Thanks to the unwavering support of CSX, FRCF can make a significant impact on the lives of first responder families nationwide. In 2022, FRCF awarded 15 CSX Pride in Service scholarships and supported an additional 192 scholars. FRCF also held 66 Toy Express events, distributing almost 26,000 toys, and supported over 40 financial assistance, bereavement, and community engagement grants for first responder families.

Looking ahead, FRCF is excited to continue advancing our shared mission through CSX’s Pride in Service initiative. At FRCF, we remain committed to empowering and supporting the brave men and women who keep our communities safe. We are grateful for the support of partners like CSX, who share in our vision for a brighter future.

FRCF encourages other companies to join us in our mission to support the children of first responders through partnerships and community engagement initiatives. Your support can help provide critical resources such as scholarships, mental health services, and financial assistance for families who sacrifice so much for our safety and well-being.

Together, we can create a brighter future for everyone. Let’s keep shining!
