Happy to support a great cause and our young adults! Our Firefighters raise money annually to help support local non-profits! Please consider supporting The Boon Project for Young Adults Fighting Cancer!We are thankful for firefighters for so many reasons. Besides their main role of fighting fires and helping to keep their communities safe, they are also great at bringing people together for many important causes.

❤️For example, St. John's Fire District recently surprised us (again) by supporting our work through their cancer awareness t-shirt sale and by presenting a check at the end of December to Boon Project Founder and Executive Director Katherine Cardwell Brown.

🩷 St. John's Fire District's inspiration in supporting those diagnosed with cancer between 18 and 40(ish)? Local young adult cancer Survivor and Boon Project Board Member Jenna Baskin! Read more about her and the rest of the Boon Project team: www.boonproject.org/our-team

🚒Thank you again, St. John's Fire District, and all firefighters, for your hard work in all that you do for your communities and neighbors.
