VALIANT FUND RAISING EFFORT GOING ON IN THE FDNY
TO HELP OUR DISABLED WOUNDED WARRIORS.
At our November Meeting (2013) Danny Prince
spoke to us all about the need for "Track" Wheelchairs
for our wounded veterans. These Track Chairs have the ability to climb stairs and do other tasks that a simple wheel- chair cannot. They are powered by a high torque motor and can cost upwards of $20,000.00
If you wish to donate please get in touch with Danny
at (718) 496-3893.
Any amount is greatly appreciated.
