We are happy to support our guys raising money for families of fallen first responders. We are all in this together.

A huge THANK YOU to the Sanibel Firefighters Benevolent for their generous donation in support of this year’s Brotherhood Ride!

This October 17–23, two of their members, Deputy Chief John DiMaria and Captain Mike Martin, will proudly represent the Sanibel Fire Rescue District as they ride with us to honor Florida’s fallen first responders and support the families they left behind.

We are incredibly grateful for their generosity and continued support of our mission.
