First Responders Children's Foundation

For the past 20 years, First Responders Children's Foundation has awarded college scholarships to the children of first responders who have been killed or injured in the line of duty. The Foundation also awards grants to first responder families enduring significant financial hardship and supports programs operated by first responder organizations whose purpose is to benefit children or the community in which they live. The Foundation's annual Thanksgiving Day Parade breakfast hosts children and family members of those lost in the line of duty for a free breakfast and front row view of the Thanksgiving Day Parade so those families can gather and heal during what might otherwise be a difficult holiday.
