OUR BEGINNINGS WERE HUMBLE
All of the money that we raise as a Colorado chapter stays in Colorado to help the firefighters that serve our communities. This donation might be applied through a firefighter that was killed or injured in the line of duty, a firefighter family member that is sick or has an ambition to get a college education, or the fund might provide some much-needed resources for a small volunteer department with no money for training or equipment.
The Terry Fund is a firefighter charity established after the World Trade Center attacks on 9-11. Terry Farrell was serving for the FDNY on Rescue 4 when he was killed during these attacks. Since that time our founder (and Terry’s brother), Brian Farrell, has worked diligently to create a charity that supports firefighters and their families with educational, medical, and equipment needs. We are a national organization and now have active chapters in New York, California, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida, Texas, New Jersey and Colorado. We operate solely on a volunteer basis using predominantly firefighters with some help from friends of the fund.
