The event, which will be held on Sunday, September 19, at 6 p.m., at the historic Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena, California, will be another memorable evening filled with stories of firefighter cancer survival and courage, comedy, and a spectacular auction and raffle.

Firefighters are trained to face life-threatening tasks each day but there is no training that can prepare them for the devastating news of being diagnosed with cancer, which is a very real risk because of their duties. Founded by Los Angeles County Fire Fighter Paramedic Mike Dubron following his own battle with the disease, FCSN has led the way in support, education, resources and countless means of assisting firefighters and their families during these difficult struggles. For more information about the Network, its programs, and how to support their efforts, visit www.FirefighterCancerSupport.org.
