IAFF Establishes Charity Fund
Sept. 13, 2001, 10a.m. -- In the wake of Tuesday's tragedy, the IAFF is preparing to send financial assistance to the families of all fallen fire fighters and to coordinate efforts to assist fire and EMS personnel on the scene in New York City.
"The International and its members are mourning the loss of our brothers and sisters," said Schaitberger. "There will be many funds established to help the victims. We are encouraging our members to ask other friends of the fire service to donate to the New York Fire 9-11 Relief Fund. One hundred percent of this money will go directly to the families of the fallen fire fighters and EMS personnel in New York City."
"This fund is the only one directly affiliated with the IAFF, the Uniformed Firefighters Association of New York, Local 94 and the New York Uniformed Fire Officer Association, Local 854," said Kevin Gallagher, IAFF 1st District Vice President and President of Local 94. "Our brothers and sisters appreciate this generosity."
"In the aftermath of this tragedy, the families of our fallen brothers and sisters shouldn't have to worry about money," said Pete Gorman, President of Local 854. "The New York Fire 9-11 Relief Fund will make sure they get the assistance they need."
Contributions are tax deductible. Those wishing to send donations should send checks payable to "The New York Fire 9-11 Relief Fund" to:
