Events are the backbone of two of Shield 23 Foundation's Objectives: Fundraising and Awareness. We aim to engage in many ways, as evident by these prior Events: a Fall Social & Gift Basket Raffle; Restaurant Proceed Events; Third-party Fundraisers designating S23F as Beneficiary, and 50/50 Raffles. Presentations to Fire Departments and Unions; Fire Service-related Conventions and Events; Info Tables & Media Interviews, and Community Events.
Then the year 2020 saw the arrival and impact of Covid-19. Like many NFPs our Fundraising efforts were severly affected. As we pivot and adapt to how to raise funds in the current climate, and plan our next Events, we do so with the knowledge that Firefighters/Paramedics don't rest, and unfortunately, neither does Cancer.

Pink Tie Ball (Schaumburg)
April 5 @ 6:00 pm – 11:30 pm
Schaumburg Firefighter’s Association Pink Tie Firemen’s Ball
The goal of the Schaumburg Firefighters Association is to help people. In 2012, the Schaumburg Fire Fighters Association decided to take on one of the world’s largest epidemics that affects both men and women of all ages. The Pink Tie Ball is a fundraising event for cancer research and support.
The evening begins with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the Hotel’s atrium. Soon thereafter, guests are welcome to enjoy the elegant meal. The meal will be accompanied by a short tribute video created to honor the men and women who have fought so bravely against cancer. Throughout dinner, guests will also have to opportunity to be truly inspired by the testimonies of some of our honored guest speakers/survivors and philanthropists.
