I have struggled with this topic for a while now....
9/11 should never be a sales opportunity. It should never be commercialized, exploited, or used as a way to make money from the loss of 343 FDNY firefighters.
At the same time, we have received a lot of requests for a commemorative piece over the years. As Taylor's Tins has grown within the fire service, we feel a responsibility to provide something meaningful for those who have asked us for it. But we REFUSE to profit from it.
110% of every sale from this collection will be donated to Friends of Firefighters, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in the days following September 11, 2001. The organization began by providing meals to exhausted rescue workers and support at FDNY funerals and memorials. Today, they continue that mission by providing free, confidential mental health counseling and wellness services to active and retired FDNY firefighters and their families.
Yep,110%. Taylor's Tins will add an additional 10%.
The original artwork for this commemorative piece was created by fire service artist Zack Newton, whose signature appears within the design.
Available as a 6" Taylor's Tins metal shield, keychain, or both.
We will make our donation publicly and continue announcing the running totals throughout the sale so there is complete transparency about where the money is going.
This isn't about selling September 11th.
It's about remembrance and reverence while making absolutely certain that something good comes from every single one sold.
Never Forget.
Available through September 30.
