Boston First Responders Fund Established to Help Marathon Victims

The Boston First Responders Fund has been established by our city's first responders to benefit the victims of the Boston Marathon attacks. 

"(The Boston Marathon) was a sad day for the city of Boston, our state and our nation,” said Edward Kelly, president of the Professional Firefighters of Massachusetts, via press release. “(Patriots' Day) we cared for the victims and today we want to take care of them moving forward. To the families of the victims of (Monday's) tragedy, we can never bring your loved ones back or take away the injuries you sustained from this attack. This fund is one way to hopefully provide comfort in your time of need.” 

Richie Paris, president of Boston Firefighters Local 718, said 100 percent of donations will go to help the victims.

Along with the Professional Firefighters of Massachusetts, other organizations supporting the fund are Boston Fire Local 718, Boston Police Patrolman’s Association, Boston Police Patrolman’s Association – EMS Division, Boston Superior Officers Federation, and the Boston Police Detectives Benevolent Society.
