PITTSFIELD, N.H. — Globe Manufacturing Company continued its partnership with the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund at FDIC International 2016, the nation’s largest firefighter training conference and exhibition held April 21-24 in Indianapolis. With its supplier partner, 3M, Globe invited attendees to try on its new ATHLETIX™ and G-XTREME ® 3.0 turnout gear and show their strength on a high striker. Firefighters then spun a wheel to determine a donation ® $10, $20, $50, or $100 ® to the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund in their name. In total, Globe and 3M donated $18,340 to the Fund.
“The Terry Fund appreciates the great partnership we have with Globe. Globe not only makes some of the best and most innovative fire gear on the market today but also strongly supports the fire service through its direct assistance to the Terry Fund,” said Brian Farrell, chairman of the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund and brother of Terry Farrell. “Firefighters across America also directly benefit from the awareness that Globe brings to the Fund.”
“Globe has always given back to the fire service and we are proud to partner with the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund,” said Rob Freese, senior vice president of marketing at Globe Manufacturing Company. “They are a hard working group of volunteers that assists firefighters and families across the nation with financial, educational and medical support, and provides equipment donations for fire departments in need.”
“3M is honored to continue its partnership with Globe in supporting the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund,” said Jennifer L. Sickmann, Global Segment Marketing Manager for 3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Material. “The assistance which the Farrell volunteers provide to firefighters is outstanding and we’re pleased to help further this cause.”
