Brothers and Sisters,

The St. Paul Charitable Giving campaign closes this Wednesday, Nov 6! One of the charities you can support is the St. Paul Fire Foundation and is an easy way to contribute to a cause that benefits you and your brothers and sisters directly. You can choose to make a one-time contribution using a paper form or go online to www.ipledgeonline.org/_stpaul and make a payroll deduction gift.

With your contributions, the Foundation will be able to continue the mission of supporting the health, wellness and safety of all St. Paul Firefighters. In the past, with your support, we have purchased workout equipment, provided training sessions, purchased high-quality hoods and supported several members and their families in their times of need. With your support, we can continue to work with Fire Administration with the goal of providing enhanced physicals, heart scans and cancer screenings for our members. In addition, we will continue to help our own and their families that have been impacted with PTSD, assisting before and after cancer diagnoses and continue looking for ways to improve the quality of life in our stations. We could not pursue these things without your support.

Here’s an idea of the impact even a small donation would have to fund health and safety initiatives for all our firefighters:

• IF we all donated $1 per paycheck we would raise $11,310
• IF we all donated $2 per paycheck we would raise $22,620
• IF we all donated $5 per paycheck we would raise $56,550

Thank you very much for your consideration as your donation helps us continue to do these great things and work toward even more.

Sincerely,

St. Paul Fire Foundation
