With the proceeds from the 2024 Boots & Badges Charity Basketball game held April 12, 2024, Waukesha Fire Fighters’ Charity, Inc. made the generous donation to the Food Pantry of Waukesha County, Inc.  Police and Firefighters from Waukesha played a friendly basketball game against the New Berlin / Brookfield Police and Firefighters.  Fans supported this charitable event by purchasing raffle tickets and paying admission to the game.  Organizers of the 2024 Boots & Badges Charitable Basketball Game would like to thank all of our sponsors from the community who donated raffle prizes for this event.  

The Food Pantry of Waukesha County, Inc. is providing food, hope, and dignity to Waukesha County residents in need and advocate to increase awareness of hunger through community partnerships.  On average, each day the Food Pantry helps 115 households, or 330 individuals receive food.  Approximately 30% of clients are children and 12% are seniors so community support is vital to ensure that our most vulnerable populations have access to food. 

Since its inception in 2014, Waukesha Fire Fighters' Charity has provided support to many individuals as well as Wisconsin based non-profit organizations.  It is the mission of the Waukesha Fire Fighters' Charity to build stronger and safer communities by supporting those who help others.
