Foundation Request #SCFlood

October 9, 2015

Thank you for the continued support from around the state in response to the catastrophic flooding experienced over the last several days. Many of you have helped in so many ways, and we can't say thank you enough.

From the S.C. Firefighter Foundation

We fully expect to hear of many more areas of need in the weeks and months ahead. We have an opportunity to make a difference in those lives and others. Would you consider a donation to the S.C. State Firefighters' Foundation?  Many of you have asked how you can help, and this is one of those ways.  If you are planning a fundraiser, would you consider donating the proceeds to the Foundation?  There are many great organizations working to support relief efforts throughout the state. We are asking that you consider a gift that will go directly to our members. Please share this campaign with as many people and organizations as you see fit. "What better way for us to assist a brother or sister than to assist them in a time of need when they are protecting our citizens?" - Chief Jamie Caggiano, Foundation Chairman There are two ways to make a donation:
