Representing the Career Firefighters of the City of Clifton NJ Fire Department
During the month of November, the Clifton Fire Department organizes a Pet Drive for the Clifton Animal Shelter. This year marks the 10th anniversary of this event. We would like to thank all who donated to this great cause making it a huge success! FMBA 21 would also like to thank our fire department secretary, Ann Marie Lancaster for organizing this event!
Members,
Brothers Jallad, Andrade, and Hoogmoed are running a fundraiser through the FMBA to raise money for Cancer awareness. Please take a minute to read the link and support this. I would hope that we could get a lot of support by either growing a mustache for the month or make a donation to the cause. If you see this link on your Facebook page please like and share it to you friends to spread the word of this fundraiser.

Thanks in advance for all your help and great job fellas.

FMBA 21
Each day, 22,000 people die from cancer worldwide (WHO). There’s a good chance that someone you know and love will be affected by this disease. Nearly half of cancer diagnoses and deaths are preventable. No-Shave November’s mission is to not only raise funds for cancer research and treatment but to educate the population about preventative measures. For over six years, participants around the globe have put down their razors and foregone their hair appointments to join the fight against cancer. The No-Shave November campaign has successfully raised over $3.5 million dollars to combat this disease. Every dollar raised brings us one step closer in our efforts to fund cancer research and education, help prevent the disease, and aid those fighting the battle. Each whisker grown allows us to embrace our hair, which many cancer patients lose during treatment. Will you join me? Start by using the links to the right.
FMBA 21 would like to thank all those who donated to this year’s Animal Shelter Blanket Drive! The donations get bigger each year. Special Thanks to Ann Marie Lancaster from Fire Headquarters who sets this event up each year!

Clifton Animal Shelter – New Jersey
FMBA 21 would like to personally recognize Ann-Marie Lancaster, our fire department secretary. Not only does she basically run the place, she also takes an exorbitant amount of time out of her life to organize all of the Animal Shelter Drives. She is solely responsible for making these events as successful as are and truly enjoys every minute of it.
