Join FCSN for gala fundraiser to help firefighters with cancer
Firefighter cancer nonprofit’s ‘Leading the Way’ gala marks 11th anniversary of service and support for firefighters and their families
UPDATE: The Firefighter Cancer Support Network appreciates your donation to support our postponed gala and fundraiser: bit.ly/FCSNdonation. To receive updates, please go to bit.ly/FCSN_gala_notice.
FCSN’s 11th anniversary “Leading the Way” gala dinner and fundraiser was originally scheduled for Saturday, November 12, 2016, with IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger as our special guest. FCSN postponed the event in response to the political protests in downtown Los Angeles. “We’re not upset about the protesters; we respect their First Amendment rights,” said FCSN President Bryan Frieders. “It’s just unfortunate for us that the protests happened at the same time our event was scheduled.”

Since 2005, FCSN has helped thousands of firefighters and their families cope with cancer. We hope you’ll join us for a fun evening with cocktails, dinner, silent and live auctions, and a high-energy concert by one of the top rock cover bands in America, The Trip!
The Trip will take you on a fun-filled musical journey through the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and today with classic-rock, alternative, Top-40 and modern-rock hits. Named “best cover band” by CBS, The Trip is the official Los Angeles Dodgers pre-game party band, and they have rocked the deck of the USS Midway and dozens of Fortune 500 company events.

“Leading the Way”
FCSN has been a leader in the battle against occupational cancer for more than a decade. We’re marking FCSN’s 11th anniversary with some of our partners in the fight. 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. Please join us – get your tickets now!
If you won’t be able to make it for the gala, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help FCSN continue our service and support for firefighters and their families.
