Small Contribution, Big Impact

The 52 Club is a pivotal program of the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, encouraging individuals to contribute $52 annually—equivalent to $1 per week—to support wildland firefighters and their families. These donations fund critical programs, including:

  • Tragedy Assistance: Support for Line of Duty Deaths (LODD) and Injuries (LODI), along with extended care for affected families.

  • Hardship Assistance: Aid for wildland firefighters facing financial difficulties.

  • Family Fire Weekend: Events that honor fallen firefighters and provide communal support for their families.

  • Santa’s Helper: Initiatives for children of fallen and injured firefighters.

  • Firefighter Wellness: Access to mental health support for trauma and assistance with other needs.

Members receive a 52 Club pin, symbolizing their commitment to the cause. Additionally, companies can achieve Gold Member status when at least 75% of their employees enroll, demonstrating organizational solidarity.

For those seeking a deeper commitment, a Lifetime Membership is available for a one-time contribution of $1,300, representing 25 years of support. Lifetime members receive a special pin, a certificate of appreciation signed by the Executive Director, and a personalized membership number.

By joining the 52 Club, you become an integral part of a community dedicated to standing behind wildland firefighters and their families during their times of need. Your support ensures that the Foundation can continue its mission to provide immediate and long-term assistance to those who risk their lives to protect our natural landscapes.
