Know somebody who would be interested in a Fire or EMS course Scholarship?

The Richard Garner Memorial Scholarship is now accepting applications until June 15th. 2 $2500 Scholarships are available.

The Richard Garner Memorial Scholarship was created to honor the life of City of Madison Fire Fighter/Paramedic Richard Garner Jr. who died in the line of duty on April 1, 2018. Richard was not only a great Fire Fighter/Paramedic and dear friend to many, but he was a constant fixture within the Madison Community, helping and serving in any way he could. The scholarship was put in place to help those who are entering the Fire and EMS fields. Please visit the link below for more information. Applications available on the link below.

Even though it has been over two months since the Richard Garner Memorial Ride, sponsorships and donations are still coming in. We wanted to especially thank Veridian Homes and The Veridian Homes Foundation for their silver level sponsorship and continued support for the Richard Garner Memorial Fund.
