We are selling out our tickets very fast, and if you haven't got a hold of your ticket, we want to remind you that every year this event is a sold out event. GIVING BACK TO OUR COMMUNITYEvery year we're excited to keep this event going and to make sure that our mission will continue to live on. The 5th Annual Firefighter's Gala is a fundraiser to help feed underprivileged and vulnerable children in the Coquitlam area through a “Nutritional Breakfast & Snack Program". This program is designed to relieve hunger by providing healthy food so kids can concentrate in class and succeed in school. Our firefighters collect & distribute food to selected schools throughout the year. HELP US REACH OUR $50,000 GOALWith $50,000 we aim to expand the snack program to 4 schools full time to support more kids in need. Create a long term sustainable program. Launch “School Break Support" & "Fill the Pack" programs. As Firefighters, we respond to a variety of different emergencies; fires, car accidents or medical distress. However, there is one emergency that needs everyone’s attention and that is the unfortunate reality that some children are going to school with no breakfast or lunch.

If You're Looking to Give Back To Your Community... This is a Good Way to do so and Have Some Fun Too!The Coquitlam Firefighters Charitable Society (CFFCS) is a Registered Charity (CRA #897288114 RR0001) that provides support and funds to other local charities, foundations and community groups.
In the fall of 2016, the Coquitlam Firefighter's Charitable Society was awarded the Spirit of Coquitlam Grant. This grant has been used to improve and facilitate the much needed Breakfast and Snack Program that is now into it's fourth year. We have been able to purchase such items as a sanitation station, food preparation and serving equipment, as well as Food Safe training for our volunteers who prepare, cook and serve throughout the year.
We are very grateful to have received this grant and want to thank the City of Coquitlam, and the Spirit of Coquitlam grant committee for the generous support to help our cause! The Coquitlam Firefighter's Charity is currently seeking corporate and private sponsors for the upcoming 4th Annual Charity Gala.
This year's gala is going to be held on October 28 and feature a dazzling masquerade theme with a live performance by the Dueling Pianos. The proceeds raised will be going to support the Nutritional Breakfast and Snack Program as well as help launch new initiatives to help combat child poverty. Please check out our Gala Page to view our sponsorship package and see how you can be apart of this magical evening in support of vulnerable children. CFFCS FUNDRAISER EVERY SATURDAY
