Our firefighters are exposed to physical, mental and emotional challenges each and every day in the field while protecting us, our property, and our land. Proceeds from your participation are donated to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. The mission of WFF is to support the families of firefighters who have perished or been injured in the line of duty -- their role during medical emergencies and fatality events cannot be understated.

The Wildland Firefighter Foundation’s main focus is to help families of firefighters killed in the line of duty and to assist injured firefighters and their families. We honor and acknowledge past, present, and future members of the wildland firefighting community, and partner with private and interagency organizations to bring recognition to wildland firefighters.
