EAGLEVILLE, PA, May 18, 2023 - Streamlight®, Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting for first responders, announced that it donated $21,000 to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF), which included $11,000 in proceeds from sales of the company's specially marked NFFF Red Nano Light®, Red Vantage® helmet light, and Red Siege® AA lantern. Streamlight earmarks $1.00, $3.00, and $2.00, respectively, from the sale of each light for the NFFF. The donation also included a $10,000 contribution for the continued Bronze level corporate sponsorship to NFFF.
Streamlight has been supporting NFFF through donations and sponsorships for more than 16 years. Contributions have continually assisted NFFF in commemorating the lives of firefighters who have died in the line of duty and supporting their families and colleagues.
“We hope our contributions have helped the families and surviving colleagues of the heroic fallen fire fighters over the years,” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. “Their valor and selflessness no doubt saved the lives and property of others. We hope our donations will in some way assist those they left behind.”
Streamlight's sponsorship helps fund various initiatives, including the organization's annual National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend to fallen heroes held this year May 6-7 at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Park in Emmitsburg, MD. The donations provide lodging and meals for immediate families of firefighters being honored and assist with travel expenses.
A plaque with the names of the firefighters who died in the line of duty in 2022 will be added to the National Firefighters Memorial during the tribute.
Streamlight's sponsorship also helps fund scholarships awarded to spouses and children of fallen firefighters and counseling programs for agencies that have lost colleagues in the line of duty.
Congress created the NFFF to lead a nationwide effort to honor America's fallen firefighters. Since 1992, the non-profit Foundation has developed and expanded programs that fulfill that mandate. For more information about the organization, visit firehero.org or call 301-447-1365.
