First Responders Children's Foundation

💪 First responders strong. 📚 The First Responders Children's Foundation supports children & families of first responders through scholarships & grants. 🎊 Honored to have First Responders Children's Foundation ring the Nasdaq Opening Bell!

Did you catch us on Nasdaq? Yesterday, we had the honor of ringing the NASDAQ closing bell alongside heroes from the New York City Fire Department, New York City Police Department, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, MTA Police, and Port Authority Police Department. This moment was dedicated to recognizing the incredible sacrifices of first responder families who are on the frontlines of natural disaster response and in need of help to rebuild their homes and lives too. Thank you to SERVPRO and Good360 for supporting our Disaster Response efforts and to all who stand with us in honoring these heroes and supporting their families. Together, we’re building a brighter future for those who protect us every day. Video: Nasdaq
