Heart of a Hero: firefighter benefit concert to be held in December

October 31, 2007 /

We know a good cause when we see one…

The California wildfires that have dominated the news recently remind us of the sacrifices the brave men and women of the firehouse do for us everyday.

Last year, the First Annual “Heart of a Hero” Benefit Concert in southern California raised over $14,000 for the five families of the fallen firefighters in last year’s Esperanza, Ca. wildfire. And thanks to the help of country artists such as Big & Rich, Lonestar, Charlie Daniels, Brooks & Dunn, Wynonna and others, 100% of the money went to these families.

The Second Annual Heart of a Hero Benefit Concert and Auction will be held on December 1st and, once again, all the money will go to the Wildland Firefighters Foundation (this was set in motion WELL before these last devistating wildfires in California).

Your support will benefit the families of fallen firefighters.
