Earlier this week, members of Local 4092 had the honor of presenting a donation check to the Ronald McDonald House Chicago.

This contribution was made possible through the hard work and support behind our annual charity softball tournament. We’re proud to continue supporting such an incredible organization and grateful to everyone who helped make it happen.

We’re also happy to announce that this year’s charity softball tournament will be held on Saturday, September 12th! Please follow Schaumburg Firefighter's Annual Softball Tournament for more details!

Schaumburg Professional Firefighter's Benevolent Association: Pink Tie Firemen’s Ball, an annual fundraiser supporting the fight against all cancers!

02/05/2026

Elk Grove Village Fire Department Lieutenant Schlott’s 10-month-old daughter, Raelynn, has been diagnosed with a Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor. This is an extremely rare and aggressive cancer that affects infants and young children, with only an estimated 20–25 cases diagnosed nationwide each year.

For those who are able and wish to contribute, the family has requested that donations be made to the St. Baldrick's Foundation in support of childhood cancer research.

Please continue to send positive thoughts, prayers, and encouragement their way.

This St. Baldrick's team has joined together to fight kids' cancer by shaving their heads and raising money for research! Make a donation to support their efforts, or join the team to be a part of the fun!
