Charities – Hero Rush Giving Back

Just as Firefighters and Emergency Personnel across the country give of themselves every day, we make it a priority to give back to them. Hero Rush will partner with fire-related charities across the country to ensure our nation’s first responders feel the love!

Our National Charity

Hero Rush is a proud supporter of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, our national charity. Created by Congressional mandate, the Foundation administers programs to honor our fallen fire heroes and assist their families and coworkers. And to reduce the number of firefighter deaths, the Foundation created “Everyone Goes Home.” This initiative promotes education and training to prevent line-of-duty deaths and injuries.

The “343″ Wave

During registration, you’ll be able to select the “343″ wave, a special limited wave honoring the fallen firefighters of 9/11. Your $10 registration add-on will be matched by Hero Rush for the “343″ wave, with all proceeds going to the Foundation. You’ll also be able to give additional support during the registration process and in special fund raising programs we’ll be announcing as we expand.

Supporting Charities in Our Event Communities

Hero Rush also aims to play an important role in the communities in which we hold events. In each of our host cities, we’ll identify and support one or more local fire service, firefighting or public safety charities.

Growing List of Local Charities

We will work with local community leaders and recommendations from our participants, so please stay tuned for more information once registration is live! To suggest a local charity for your event, contact us. We also encourage racers to create fundraisers for our charities or their own favorite charity.

All profits from our Kids challenges will go directly to the selected local charity(s) plus you’ll be able to make donations from our registration page and create fund raising efforts of your own.
