Fire fighters are a special breed of people. They are men and women who have made a decision to serve their communities. They go the extra mile to ensure our safety. They are the guardians of our community and are dedicated professionals who are willing to lay it all on the line for us.

Fire fighters know that their profession is one that is wrought with risk. They face the perilous dangers associated with entering burning buildings, deal with toxic hazardous materials, see unspeakable things, & they are exposed to infectious disease and the deadly byproducts in smoke.

The mission of the Colorado Professional Fire Fighters Foundation is to provide aid and support to Colorado firefighters, their families and dependents, who are victims of tragedy.  The Colorado Professional Fire Fighters Foundation was founded in January 2002 by members of the Colorado Professional Fire Fighters who recognized the tremendous void left in the lives of Colorado fire fighters when tragedy strikes.  The founders realized that the men and women who sacrifice their lives, or are injured while saving others, leaves families with very real emotional and financial needs. 

Many of the needs of the widows/widowers and orphans of fallen fire fighters are overlooked or not covered by the government programs available to families after a tragedy.  It was from this financial void that the Colorado Professional Fire Fighters Foundation was born.

Donations go directly to the families or fire fighters who have fallen, were injured, or who have suffered tragedy.
