The IAFF expands the scope and mission of its charitable funds to better meet the ongoing needs of fire fighters and emergency medical personnel. The IAFF Burn Fund, W.H. “Howie” McClennan Scholarship Fund, Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial Fund, John P. Redmond Fund and Disaster Relief Fund are reconfigured under the new IAFF Foundation. More than 800 attend the IAFF Foundation Inaugural Gala during the 2011 John P. Redmond Symposium and the Dominick F. Barbera EMS Conference in New York, New York. The Gala raises more than $800,000 for the IAFF Foundation.
