Sponsors


 

We thank Toyota for supporting diversity in the 21st Century Fire and EMS field and for supporting our 21st Century Firefighter’s ABCs website.

Without such sponsorship’s diversity would not take place for our diverse youth nationwide. Most of all diversity supports our communities nationwide. Let’s Go Places with Toyota.

 


 

With pleasure we accept Pierce Mfg. as our sponsor in support of diverse and low-income youth to attend EMT school.

Diverse youth shall be selected from our six regions nationwide. The future of diversity in the Fire and EMS field shall be achieved in part due to the 21st Century thinking and support of those such as Pierce Mfg.

Thank you Pierce Mfg.

When we were introduced to Firefighter’s ABCs, it took only one meeting for us to consider being a Sponsor / Partner.  Thus supporting their goals for diversity in the Fire Service, EMS Field and simply to support diverse youth nationwide regardless of their career choice.

It is through our video platform that we will create F.L.A.S.H. Videos to help achieve and support the goal of providing youth with additional tools for their tool box regardless of their career goals.

Please visit our F.L.A.S.H. VIDEOS and I encourage you to share them with the youth of your community.  Yes, you can make a difference in someone’s life.

Yours,
