IAFF Local #35 would like to extend a huge THANK YOU for all of the support from the North Little Rock public!

First, our annual Christmas Bikes Program:

Local #35 partners with the Salvation Army's ANGEL TREE Program.  Money raised from generous donors from North Little Rock (and a few from outside the city) were contributed directly to the Salvation Army to provide bicycles for Christmas to children of economically challenged families who would not otherwise receive one.  Children selected by the Angel Tree program have specifically requested these bicycles.  It is important to Local #35 that everyone know that the funds raised are specifically used for these bicycles; there are no hidden costs or "administrative fees" paid with these funds!

Total contribution:  $1,810

In addition to the Christmas Bike Program, Local #35 participated again in the NLR Polar Bear Plunge in December 2012.  Our members froze their hoses off to raise the largest amount raised by a group at the event, $700.  We are proud to continue to support Arkansas Special Olympics!
