About the Lights & Ladders Brigade - November 30th, 2024
The Lights & Ladders Brigade is an event hosted by the Finley Forever Foundation and other local foundations each year. We have partnered with multiple local foundations in the past, 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 multiple 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 to our 2024 Sponsors!
