The Widows' and Children's Fund provides monetary support to families of New York City firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty, and the Benevolent Fund is designed to assist Charlotte firefighters and their families during times of sickness and death.
It is the goal of Craig Willers, son of a retired New York City Firefighter and owner of Shane's in Charlotte, to emphasize the great, day-to-day sacrifice made by our nation's firefighters and to raise funds for these two programs.
Shane's has these activities planned:
-- Monday, Sept. 11 - Shane's will donate 10 percent of its sales to the Widows' and Children's Fund
-- Shane's will sell New York Fire Department t-shirts and donate $5 to the Widows' and Children's Fund for every T-shirt sold
-- Shane's will sell Charlotte Firefighters Association T-shirts and donate $5 to the association's Benevolent Fund for every T-shirt sold.
-- Shane's will collect contributions for the Widows' and Children's Fund and the Benevolent Fund
