Dear Friends,
The Central New York Firefighters Association was organized in 1893 to serve the volunteer fire fighters within twenty counties in Central New York. Our mission is to maintain, support and serve the Volunteer Fire Service, its firefighters, and the public they protect through education, legislation, communication, recognition, and community service. We accomplish this mission by building camaraderie among the members and forming a positive partnership with related organizations. To further accomplish our mission requires substantial fund raising and support throughout the community. Your Tax-Deductible contribution is a way you can support our programs and volunteer fire fighters throughout Central New York. Below are the sizes and prices for such ads.
