Last night we had the honor of attending the 4th Annual Project Fire Buddies event, and it was nothing short of inspiring.

The vision, heart, and impact that Kurt and his team have created continues to grow year after year, and it’s incredible to see how many lives they touch through this mission. The support they provide to firefighters and the kids they serve truly reminds us why community matters so much.

Our local 1-800-BoardUp offices in Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland are proud to continue supporting Fire Buddies chapters within our local fire departments. Standing alongside organizations that give back to our first responders and their families is something we deeply believe in.

Thank you to Project Fire Buddies for an unforgettable evening and for being a constant source of inspiration. We’re grateful to be part of this journey and look forward to continuing the support.
