About the Lights & Ladders Brigade
The Lights & Ladders Brigade is an event hosted by the Finley Forever Foundation along with other local foundations each year. We have come together with multiple local foundations, such as The Tom Hopkins Foundation, Christmas Without Cancer, and Project Fire Buddies to raise money and bring cheer to families battling cancer during the holidays.
Our Goal
The Annual Lights & Ladders Brigade helps spread holiday cheer and support for families fighting against cancer or experiencing a difficult time. Firefighters from across three states volunteer their time to decorate the homes of multiple recipients. It is a heartwarming and memorable event for everyone involved. All proceeds go towards holiday decorations, general costs of the event, and family gifts and donations.
Thank You 2023 Sponsors!
