We Will Never Forget

The Inspiring Origin of the Howard Heroes Fund

The genesis of the Howard Heroes Fund can be traced back to 2003, ignited by a series of gut-wrenching tragedies within the Howard County Professional Fire Fighters Association. The profound anguish of losing two members' sons to suicide, witnessing the valiant battle and ultimate loss of another member's child to leukemia, and enduring the devastation of yet another member's home and possessions to fire, shook the very foundation of the organization.

In the midst of this turmoil, amidst the raw grief and unwavering solidarity to uplift their fellow firefighters, there arose an urgent imperative: to fortify the association's financial resources while extending unwavering support to those in dire need.

Following exhaustive discussions and careful consideration of numerous propositions, a pivotal decision was reached: to establish a dedicated fund and pursue formal recognition as a public charity. While those directly impacted in 2003 would not directly benefit from this initiative, its inception was a beacon of hope, ensuring a lifeline for future members confronting similar crises.
