| Seattle's Bravest Charity
was created after the 1995 fire deaths of four Seattle Firefighters at
the Pang Warehouse Fire. Due to the overwhelming generosity of the
community, over $500,000 was donated to care for fallen firefighter’s
families that were left behind. Originally known as "Seattle
Firefighter's Benevolent Association," it has since grown into an
organization with a broad scope, capable of providing support to our
community and entities within the Seattle Fire Department.
Over the years we have helped victims of fire, founded a Home Rescue
Program, aimed at helping the elderly, donated hundreds of bike helmets
to children in need, managed a scholarship fund for the children and
relatives of Seattle Firefighters. We have also raised money to build
the Firefighter Memorial in Pioneer Square, as well as established the
Walter Kilgore Honor Guard. The latter was made possible with a generous
donation from Mary Anne Kilgore, widow of Walter Kilgore, killed in the
Pang arson.
Seattle’s Bravest Charity is a 501c3 tax exempt organization and can
be found in the City of Seattle’s Combined Charity guide.
