WINSTON PROFESSIONAL FIRE FIGHTERS ASSOCIATION
🔥 Standing Strong with Our Firefighters 🔥
The brave fire fighters of our nation hold one of the most hazardous occupations in terms of injury and loss of life. 💔🚒
By working hand-in-hand with the citizens of our community, together we can help change these statistics. 🙌❤️
✨ This semi-annual event empowers us to continue supporting meaningful projects that are close to the hearts of fire fighters everywhere.
Dear Fire Fighter Supporters
I would like to personally take this opportunity to thank you for supporting your local firefighters. Your contribution will benefit firefighters throughout Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. With the purchase of these ticket vouchers, you show your support not only for the firefighters, but for your community as well.
The Winston-Salem Professional Fire Fighters Association represents over 200 local firefighters, both active and retired, in their efforts to take a pro-active approach to fire safety and community services throughout our area. We are a non-profit professional organization; therefore, these ticket vouchers are not tax deductible for federal tax purposes as a charitable contribution. But please be assured the Winston-Salem Professional Fire Fighters and the community they serve will benefit from your support. It is important to note that we represent the career professional firefighters themselves (not the government agencies) and do not financially support any volunteer fire departments. Historically firefighters suffer over 100 line-of-duty deaths each year and many thousands of serious injuries. Our work environment includes hazards from burns, toxic environments, falls, falling objects, traffic hazards, disease exposures and stress. Working with the citizens of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, perhaps we can change these statistics. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at (336) 403-7771.
Once again, I thank you for your support. It is friends like you that make a difference.
Sincerely,
David Pollard
President
Winston-Salem Professional Fire Fighters Association
