Third annual gala, September 11, 2008.

A third year on the anniversary date, funding equipment the city budget does not cover.

From the third annual gala.

The Foundation held its third annual gala on September 11, 2008, continuing the anniversary tradition established at its founding.

The organisation remained a 501(c)(3) non-profit and the only foundation in Houston providing non-governmental funding to the city’s firefighters.
