Proceeds from the event benefit the Delaware County American Red Cross Tragic Loss Program and the Tri-Township Fire Department of Delaware County. Funds will help these organizations continue to provide free smoke detectors to families in need and support their fire-safety work.
The event materials reference a recent tragic house fire in which a person died after a nighttime fire began in a bedroom and there was no working smoke detector to alert the household. The stated mission is to honor the memory of those affected by such fires by raising awareness about early detection and by helping prevent future tragedies.
