Thank You, Mission BBQ!
Mission BBQ recently hosted their Cups for Heroes fundraiser, raising an incredible $1,798 for Friends of Arvada Fire. They presented the donation check to us today, and we were fortunate to have several Chiefs on hand to help accept it.
(They were kind enough to provide a pocket-sized check for the bank—so we didn’t have to carry the giant novelty version around with us!)
The funds raised were split between their designated Fire Charity, Friends of Arvada Fire, and the Arvada Police Charity. It’s encouraging to know that our partners in law enforcement receive the same level of support.
We’re grateful for Mission BBQ’s continued commitment to supporting first responders and the communities they serve.

Due to resource constraints, Friends of Arvada Fire have made the difficult decision not to hold the Arvada Firefighters Car Fest this year. We sincerely appreciate everyone who supported this event through the years.
