Metro Fire Fighters Yearly Fundraiser

January 4, 2008 - The Metro Fire Fighters Association's two annual fundraisers are currently underway for 2008. The first program started January 3rd and will run thru the end of March, 2008. The fundraiser is conducted by telephone, to businesses and residents, in our area. This is strictly a fund drive, there are no shows. This will be the 32nd year for the two fundraisers. S.H.O. & Associates, Inc. will be handling the project, as in past years. The area Locals have netted over $3 Million dollars during this period. The second program will start in July, 2008 and run thru the middle of September, 2008.

"Show & Associates" are the agency who is charged with making the phone solicitations on behalf of multiple Firefighter Associations within the metro area. During the Fall season, a generic fundraiser is usually held. Those funds will be distributed throughout the metro area among those Associations that participate. IAFF Local 2067 uses their portion of the money raised to funnel back into the community, state, or any other charitable cause the Donation Committee warrants as a worthwhile donation on behalf of the membership.
