Local firefighters and staff were on duty Thursday, Sept. 24, to raise money for the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund, a charity established after the World Trade Center attacks on 9/11. Ten percent of all sales made that day at the 821 N. College Ave. location in Fort Collins, 6180 E. Crossroads Blvd. location in Loveland and 1700 W. Main St. location in Windsor were donated to the nonprofit organization.
“We feel incredibly privileged to support the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund and the meaningful work they do for firefighters and their families,” says Frank Sherman, owner of Human Bean Northern Colorado. “These brave men and women give so much to protect our communities, and being able to give back to those who give so much is truly an honor. We’re grateful for the opportunity to bring our community together to support such a worthy cause.”
The Colorado chapter helps the firefighters that serve in our community and offers financial support when in need as well as much-needed resources for volunteer departments that need training or equipment.
Terry Farrell was serving for the New York City Fire Department on Rescue 4 when he was killed during the attacks. Since that time, the organization has worked diligently to support firefighters and their families with educational, medical and equipment needs. The national organization now has active chapters in New York, California, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida, Texas, New Jersey and Colorado. They operate solely on a volunteer basis using predominantly firefighters with some help from friends of the fund.
