Get Involved with Project Fire Buddies

Our Chapters

The seed for Project Fire Buddies was planted in 2016 when firefighters and paramedics, from the Oak Forest Fire Department, helped one child who was struggling with complications from cancer.

It found roots in the department and flowered in the hearts of first responders, community members, and the families of the children they served. In the very near future, we hope to grow stronger and plant new seeds in various fire and police departments across Illinois.

With the dedication and support of the firefighters and police officers in these departments, we’ll be able to brighten the lives of more children than we ever thought possible.

We are grateful for everyone on the team.
