Join FCSN for gala fundraiser to help firefighters with cancer

Firefighter cancer nonprofit’s ‘Leading the Way’ gala marks 12th anniversary of service and support for firefighters and their families

Since 2005, FCSN has helped thousands of firefighters and their families cope with cancer. During the Gala we’ll be joined by survivors we’ve helped along the way, including many who are now helping other firefighters through their cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery phases. We’re also welcoming the other survivors – the families, friends, and colleagues of those who have passed on. We hope you’ll join us for a fun evening with cocktails, dinner, silent and live auctions with special guest emcee Jamie Kaler and entertainment from comedians, Jodi Miller, Brad Williams, Laurie Kilmartin and Jimmy Shubert.
