The Anne McCormick Sullivan Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization established to provide scholarships and guidance for women pursuing a career in the fire service. The Anne McCormick Sullivan Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 2014 after the Southwest Inn fire tragically took the lives of four Houston Firefighters, including Anne. Anne gave her life doing what she loved a
nd what she knew she wanted to do since the age of 17. She would want nothing more than for other women to be able to follow their dreams as she did hers. In a male dominated industry, women make up only around 4% of the nation's firefighters. Unfortunately, with these sorts of statistics, women can sometimes feel swayed from pursuing this type of career. We hope to increase that number by giving opportunities to women who are pursuing education and training in the firefighting industry. Anne was so passionate about firefighting, and to be able to encourage and support fellow women who have the same passion, would allow Anne's legacy to live on in each and every one of you.
