Ignite The Spirit MKE

Ignite The Spirit MKE

Firefighters are known to go to great lengths to help others in need. Ignite the Spirit – Milwaukee was created to raise funds for Firefighters and their families who have suffered unfortunate hardships. Our mission is to ensure that our Brothers and Sisters are never left to battle life’s hardships alone. Our vision is to provide emotional and physical support and financial assistance to Milwaukee Firefighters during times of need. We accomplish this through donations from the local community, and by partnering with local businesses and other non-profit organizations for our annual fundraising events. We are proud to be a 501(c) (3) organization created and managed by Milwaukee Firefighters. And, all members of Ignite The Spirit – Milwaukee are unpaid volunteers. This means that every donation goes directly to providing financial support to Milwaukee Firefighters and their families.
