Dear Fire Fighter Supporters:
I want to take this opportunity to personally thank you for supporting your firefighters.
By agreeing to contribute during our recent phone call, you are supporting not only our firefighters, but your community as well. Without your help, our programs would not exist.
We are so grateful to you and others for helping to make all this possible.
Please be assured that your support will be received by fire Fighters providing service to your family and others in your immediate area and again we offer you our deepest appreciation.
Sincerely,
Kyle Cravens, President
Wilson County Fire Fighters Programs
PROUDLY SPONSORING Camp Hope pediatric burn camp.
Since 1989, this overnight summer camp has provided young burn survivors with an environment in which to experience physical and emotional healing. The mission and work of this camp is near to our hearts as firefighters and has a profound effect on the children who attend. We have witnessed first-hand, the tragedy of children who have experienced severe burn injuries and are honored to be part of the amazing endeavor.
Wilson County Coats for Kids: (OPERATION WARM) Providing needy children with American made, brand new warm winter coats throughout Wilson County communities. These coats provide not only warmth to children, but helps to improve self-confidence, peer acceptance, school attendance, and outdoor play.
Wilson County Emergency Services Rehab Association (REHAB 23): We support this all-volunteer, nonprofit organization whose primary mission is to provide onscene rehabilitation services, (hydration, food, and respite from extreme heat/cold) to all Wilson County first responders while they are working emergency situations throughout our county.
AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS: These life-saving devices can be used by the general public in emergency situations to treat acute cardiac conditions such as heart attacks until first responders can arrive.
These devices have been strategically placed throughout Wilson County at Camp Boxwell, Gladeville Community Center, Mt. Juliet Senior Center, Lebanon Senior Center, and Norene Community Center. There are also mobile units in off-duty fire fighter vehicles. Our organization assists in maintaining the AEDs, as well as training citizens in our community in the proper use of them.
SUSTAIN the Wilson County Firefighters Foundation to promote fire safety education and community outreach, enhance training, assist and aid to firefighters and their families in time of need, and fund vital lifesaving initiatives.
Hazardous Material Equipment: To protect emergency responders answering Hazardous Materials calls throughout Wilson County.
Supporting Service Organizations: Such as several of the Wilson Co. Community Centers, the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the MDA-Jerry Lewis Foundation and the Paediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.
Funding Other Programs: Sponsored by the Lebanon Fire Fighters Association, which receives a portion of our proceeds.
The Wilson County Firefighters work on these programs while off duty and do not receive payment. Their goal is to cut down on the accidents and deaths caused by fire. Perhaps with your support, they will achieve this goal.
