Giving Tuesday - Radio Bingo at Rory Dolan's!

Giving Tuesday - Radio Bingo at Rory Dolan's!

This Giving Tuesday, we're turning up the volume for a cause that matters.  Join Friends of Firefighters at Rory Dolan's Restaurant in Yonkers, NY for a lively evening of Radio Bingo, hosted by DJ's at Work. Radio Bingo is where your favorite songs meet the friendly competition of classic bingo!  

Each song played brings you one step closer to shouting "BINGO!" and celebrating with a community that knows how to have fun while doing good.  

The purchase of your ticket includes: a Rory Dolan's delicious buffet dinner, a meaningful donation to Friends of Firefighters and entry for raffles and prizes during the event.  Cash Bar is available. 

Donations from the night directly support Friends of Firefighters' mission to provide free mental health and wellness services for active and retired members of the FNDY and their families. Every year, our demand for counseling services increases by 35% and this impacts our financial reserves to keep delivering the services that have been trusted by the members of the FDNY for the past 24 years.  Every ticket sold, every bingo card captured and every laugh shared helps us keep those services free and confidential - just as they should be. 

So grab your friends, sing along, and show your love for those who run toward the fire. Let's make this Giving Tuesday one to remember by helping us hit our goal of $10,000!

RACHEL FEINSTEIN & Surprise Guest Lineup for FRIENDS OF FIREFIGHTERS

Friends of Firefighters provides independent, confidential, and free mental health counseling and wellness services to active and retired FDNY firefighters and their family members.

Friends of Firefighters was founded days after September 11, 2001, providing meals for exhausted rescue workers, facilitating support at funerals and memorials, and ultimately listening and responding to firefighters’ request for mental health and wellness services.

Firefighters face trauma every day, impacting their physical and mental health, as well as that of their families, even long after retirement. Friends of Firefighters understands the common effects of the job, such as stress, anxiety, insomnia, injury and sickness, strains on relationships and family life, loneliness after retirement, or struggles with addiction.

Today, Friends of Firefighters’ FREE programs and services connect active and retired firefighters and their families with mental health and wellness services. Firefighters are there for us in some of the worst hours of our lives and it is a privilege to be there for them in their times of need.

Friends of Firefighters is a is registered 501c3 not-for-profit organization.
