Welcome
Fundraisers net Fire Foundation more than $1,500
Fire Foundation of Colorado Springs received donation of more than $1,500 thanks to two events that recognized the efforts and sacrifices of local first responders. Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC hosted Guns and Hoses, a special soccer match that pitted local law enforcement officers against Colorado Springs firefighters. Resulting ticket sales were split among local nonprofits supporting first responders. Fire Foundation received more than $500.
The second event benefitting Fire Foundation was the Rocky Mountain Rumble Beasts and Barrels Rodeo. The event, sponsored by TK Real Estate and Kenney & Company, and organized by TripleJ Rodeo Productions, was a 9/11 tribute to first responders and military members and their families. Fire Foundation received a $1,000 donation, which represents 10 percent of ticket sales for the event.
"Fire Foundation of Colorado Springs is grateful to the organizers of both events for their generosity and their efforts to recognize local first responders," said Kevin Cullinan, Fire Foundation president. "The donations will help our organization continue its efforts to support our local firefighters."

COVID-19 Response
All of us in Colorado Springs have been asked to make many adjustments to our routines during the past year and a half. With increased vaccination rates, we are slowly returning to some semblance of a “normal” lifestyle. The Fire Foundation of Colorado Springs wants to recognize the dedication and sacrifices of our first responders throughout the pandemic.
While most of us have been asked to avoid leaving the safety of our homes, our firefighters, police officers, paramedics, EMTs and medical professionals, in addition to thousands of other essential workers, have been laboring 24/7 to ensure the impacts of COVID-19 are limited and contained as much as possible. Fire Foundation board members, along with our entire community, are grateful for the commitment and willingness of all first responders to place others before self.
Fire Foundation board members continue to support the department during these challenging days, and we encourage Colorado Springs residents to remember and honor the commitment of our firefighters and all first responders and other essential workers.
With your donations, the Foundation can help ensure the continued safety and wellbeing of our frontline heroes.
