S23F: Champions of Change – Supporting Firefighters in the Fight Against Cancer

This past week S23F was honored as CBS Chicago made S23F Change Makers of the Week. Our President and Karla Cutting, who lost her husband to cancer in January of this year, talk about how S23F has impacted them and other firefighters with cancer and their families that stand beside them.

Over $100,000 has been donated to firefighters with cancer in 5 years.

Cancer has become the number 1 killer of firefighters. 75% of firefighters added to the Memorial Park- IAFF Firefighter Memorial were cancer-related last year.
