Summit Supporting Firefighters

The largest Firefighter's Appreciation Event in the Nation

Established 1998

On June 7th, Mayor Villaraigosa and the City of Los Angeles, The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), Summit Event Catering, Corporate Sponsors, Teams and thousands of Angelinos gathered for the purpose to honor the firefighters who risk their lives to serve and protect us, and to raise funds for the Los Angeles Firemen’s Relief Association’s Widows, Orphans and Disabled Firemen’s Fund, a valuable 501(c)(3) organization.

Several blocks of a busy Los Angeles business district were blocked off for what has become the largest fundraising event of its kind in the United States. Firefighters from twenty-five stations set up unique booths featuring several culinary delights, ranging from fish tacos to hamburgers to tri-tip sandwiches to deep-fried Oreo cookies. Area residents and business people flocked to the event, paying for a meal ticket that enabled them to eat this delicious food, which was donated by various local corporate sponsors.

In addition to the proceeds of the lunch tickets, the event raised funds for the families of fallen and disabled firefighters through corporate sponsorship, raffles and the sale of Los Angeles Fire Department merchandise through the Dalmatian Firehouse Store.  Battalion Chief Steve Ruda of the Los Angeles Fire Department announced that the event had raised over $100,000 in four hours.

Our Thanks
