First Responders Children’s Foundation (FRCF), a prominent national nonprofit organization, is dedicated to providing a range of critical programs to support the children and families of first responders. These programs include emergency financial hardship support, bereavement grants, resiliency and mental health support, scholarships, natural disaster aid, and community engagement initiatives that foster healthy relationships between first responders and the children in the communities they serve.

“At GOVX we’re always happy to work with non-profits that align with our core values and company mission to support those who serve,” said Alan Cole, GOVX CEO. “Combined with the incredible generosity of our friends at Fire Department Coffee, we couldn’t be more excited to come together for such an important cause this month.”

The GOVX and Fire Department Coffee fundraising effort will span the entire month of October, and will also encompass National First Responders Day, celebrated annually on October 28th. The First Responders Children’s Foundation will be marking the occasion with a Roll Call of Heroes Ceremony and Heroes of Honor Award presentation in Times Square on Tuesday, October 24, 2023. This year’s Heroes of Honor Award will be presented to Nashville first responders from Police, Fire, and Emergency Communications who responded to the Covenant School shooting.

“Fire Department Coffee is proud to collaborate with GOVX in this important initiative,” said Luke Schneider, CEO of Fire Department Coffee. “We believe in the power of collective action and are committed to supporting the First Responders Children’s Foundation in their mission to help the children of our brave first responders.”

“I’m profoundly touched and filled with gratitude for the support extended by GOVX and Fire Department Coffee,” said Jillian Crane, President and CEO of First Responders Children’s Foundation. “Their generosity embodies the spirit of unity and compassion that defines the missions of all three organizations and underscores our commitment to the first responder community. As National First Responders Day on October 28 approaches, this partnership serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by our brave first responders and their families. Together, we pay tribute to their selfless acts of heroism and honor their dedicated service.”
