The
Boston Emergency Medical Services
Relief Association is a non-profit
organization created to assist the uniformed
EMT's and Paramedics of Boston EMS. Through
small weekly dues of just three dollars a week,
both retired and active members are eligible for
assistance during financially difficult times in
their lives. BEMSRA is also responsible for
planning and hosting its yearly award ceremony
in May. This event is once a year where we can
recognize acts of heroism and professionalism
from department members who have gone above and
beyond the call of duty during the previous
year's busy 911 medical emergencies in the City
of Boston.
The
Leary Firefighters
Foundation was founded in
2000 by actor Denis Leary in response to a fire
that broke out in an abandoned warehouse in
downtown Worcester, Massachusetts, his hometown,
in December of 1999. Over 75 firefighters ran
into what some have called "the perfect fire"
and six of them never came out. One was Denis’
first cousin, Jerry Lucey and another Lt. Tommy
Spencer, was a childhood friend and high school
classmate. In an effort to find a positive way
to deal with this overwhelming loss, Denis
established The Leary Firefighters Foundation in
the spring of 2000. The Leary Firefighters
Foundation is dedicated to providing fire
departments with funding and resources for
up-to-date equipment and
training.
The
mission of the National Law Enforcement Officers
Memorial Fund is to generate
increased public support for the law enforcement
profession by permanently recording and
appropriately commemorating the service and
sacrifice of law enforcement officers; and to
provide information that will help promote law
enforcement safety.
