  • Are you or your company looking for trusted and impactful ways to give back and support the first responders who sacrifice so much to keep us safe? Our mission at First Responders Children’s Foundation is to take care of those who take care of us. As wildfires devastate Southern California, first responders are risking everything to protect our communities. Tragically, many of their own families are now among those who have lost their homes. Our Disaster Response Fund provides critical financial assistance to these heroes and their families, helping them begin the long journey of rebuilding. We also provide free mental health counseling to their children with licensed and highly-trained therapists. The need far surpasses the resources we currently have. This is where your organization can step in. By partnering with us, you’ll directly support the families of first responders who sacrifice so much for all of us. Your business will be in good company with other partners including The Ahlsten Foundation, Good360, GQG Partners, In-N-Out Burger, Life-Assist, SERVPRO, Smiling Rocks, and Under Armour. To learn more about becoming a corporate partner, reach out to our Chief Philanthropy Officer, Randy Acosta. Join us in making a lasting impact. Donate today: https://lnkd.in/gv2WymQV

  • Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a beacon of courage and service. His message of equality, compassion, and unity continues to inspire us all to serve others and make our communities stronger. At First Responders Children’s Foundation, we see these values every day in the selfless actions of first responders and their families—people who embody service and sacrifice for the greater good. Dr. King’s vision reminds us of the power of standing together, lifting each other up, and striving for a brighter future. On this day of remembrance and action, let’s commit to supporting those who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving others. Together, we can honor Dr. King’s dream and make a meaningful impact.
