The Chicago Fire Department Foundation – an independent charitable organization that supports the brave men and women of the Chicago Fire Department – will host the 2021 Tribute to Broad Shoulders Luncheon. This year, the CFDF will honor and present the Founders Award to Peoples Gas, accepted by Charles Matthews, President & CEO, and will also recognize several distinguished Chicago Fire Department heroes. Proceeds from this event help advance fire safety education, critical training and equipment upgrades, the purchase of much-needed drones, assistance to CFD members and their families in time of need and the distribution of home fire extinguishers, smoke and CO detectors in high-risk areas all with one goal of protecting our great city and its people.
With the health and safety of everyone as a top priority, the CFDF is closely monitoring the current situation and updates to the local and CDC guidelines as we move forward with the hope of being together in person. If need be, we will transition to a virtual event to be in compliance with health recommendations. Further details may follow.
If possible, kindly consider check or wire transfer payment for gifts of $5,000+.
