Schaumburg Professional Firefighters Association Presents: The Tenth Annual: Pink Tie Firemen’s Ball! April 5th, 2024

The Schaumburg Fire Fighters have taken notice to the fact that cancer has proven to be one of the world’s largest epidemics, affecting both men and women of all ages. Since it is our goal as firefighters to help people, both on and off the job, we are pleased to announce that we will be hosting the 10th Annual: Pink Tie Firemen’s Ball on April 5th, 2024. The Schaumburg Firefighter’s annual event is a formal evening ball, where different people, from near and far, come together to raise money for a cure and leave with more hope than ever. With that being said, we ask for your presence, your financial support or a simple donation of goods could greatly help us raise funds. These funds will transform the lives of so many people, in so many different ways.

The SPFFA Benevolent Association/Schaumburg Firefighters Fighting Cancer Fundraising Committee is asking you or your business for support, in the form of a donation so that we can donate more money each year, specifically earmarked for research. One hundred percent of the net proceeds raised from the Pink Tie Ball 2024 efforts will be donated to support the fight against cancer. This year we will donate to The National Cancer Research Institute, The Michael Solberg Foundation and The Northwest Community Hospital Cancer Foundation and Shield 23. Each year we strive to improve upon the last year’s totals, and 2023 surpassed our expectations by raising approximately $60,000 to aid the fight; we hope you are willing to join us raise even more in 2024!

On behalf of the SPFFA and the Schaumburg Firefighters Fighting Cancer Committee we would like to thank you for considering our charity for a donation. Also, please contact us anytime or with information regarding donations at pinktieball4092@gmail.com. If interested in purchasing tickets or interested in donating, please visit us at pinktieball4092.com. Thank you for supporting our fight to cure cancer, the people who battle this epidemic and the community in which we live!
