 The
Firefighter Steven Coakley Foundation
“ We will never forget …” best describes the
mission of the foundation. Not just about what happened to so
many people on September 11, 2001 and how our lives have changed
but “we will never forget” about how Steve and so
many firefighters lived their lives and were always there to help
us.
The charter of the foundation
is to hold an annual memorial to honor Firefighter Steven Coakley,
FDNY Engine 217, to donate funds and/or equipment to local fire
services to increase the safety of the public and first responders
themselves, to financially help relatives of fallen firefighters
to further their education by means of scholarships, and to donate
to private charities that would reflect Steve’s interests
of support in the past.
The foundation is funded
by several annual fundraising events as well as being financially
supported in many other ways. The purpose is to raise funds throughout
the year to support the charters of the foundation. In the past
these events have included silent auctions, private monetary donations,
restaurant sponsor proceeds, business donations and many, many
hours of great people volunteering their time. There are several
upcoming events that are planned for the upcoming year not only
to raise funds for the foundation but so “we will never
forget” Steve and all the other heroes that we have lost. |
