Palo Alto Firefighters are involved in the local community in a variety of ways |
You'll find us supporting
a wide variety of local events, foundations, and programs too. From local
activities, groups, teams to area attractions like the Palo Alto Art and Wine
Festival. For the last several years, we've teamed up with Bloomingdale's
and presented a charity fashion show at Stanford Shopping Center.
With you, sometimes we do something extraordinary.
Following the collapse
of the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001, the personal
actions of one of our firefighters to assist the families of the fallen firefighters.
soon turned into a community wide benefit of selling T-Shirts assisted by
the Palo Alto Fire Fighters, The Palo Alto Fire Department, The City of Palo
Alto, Bloomingdales, and a wide variety of local media including newspapers
and television, we were able to send $800,000.00 to the families of the fallen
New York City Firefighters. As you can see, a few of our T-Shirts have even
made it to Afghanistan too...
