Help us make sure no hero ever falls through the cracks.

Founded in 1907, the San Diego Fireman's Relief Association serves member firefighters during times of extreme need. Never has this been more true than now.

San Diego firefighters were at ground zero after 9/11. They risked their lives to save life and property during Firestorm 2007. Some serve our country in Iraq and Afghanistan. And of course, there are those sacrifices which do not often make news headlines- firefighters who die before their time due to cancer, heart disease, and stroke.

But you can help give back to those who give their lives for our community. By making a tax-deductible donation to the Benevolent Fund, you are helping to ensure that no hero will ever slip through the cracks.

CALLING ALL FIREFIGHTERS, families, and friends!

In January, we sent our members information about an easy way to help raise money for the Benevolent Fund- by becoming a participant in the Ralph's Community Giving program. But so far, only a handful of members have signed up! This is a limited time program and will be over in August. If we don't take advantage of the program now, it will be too late!

Please take a moment to sign up and shop at Ralph's whenever possible. Tell your family, friends, neighbors and coworkers about the program and send them to our website! And if you have questions or problems signing up, please call the Relief Association office. This program has raised a lot of money for the LA Relief Association because their members got involved. It only takes a second to sign up- instructions are below.

Now supporting your local heroes is easier than ever! Every time you swipe your Ralphs Club Card at any Ralph's store, they will donate a percentage of the sale to the Benevolent Fund. Shop at Ralphs and support your local heroes!

  1. Grab your Ralph's Club Card and go to http://www.ralphs.com/ccprogram.htm. If you don't have a Ralphs Club Card, you can apply for one at any Ralph's grocery store.

  2. Follow the instructions on their website to register as a participant and select the San Diego Fireman's Relief Association as your organization. Our NPO number is 90258.

  3. Swipe your Ralphs Club Card everytime you shop, and tell your friends and family to sign up as well. The more people that use the program, the more we will raise for the Benevolent Fund.
