Please be aware,

RPFFA Raleigh Professional Firefighters Association is NOT currently collecting monetary donations for those sadly impacted by Hurricane Harvey at this moment. If you're able to, please make your donations to a reputable organization actually assisting those impacted.

As per the Texas Fire Marshals Office,
many Texas Firefighters and their families have personally suffered major losses in the hurricane and related floods.

It's estimated in one department alone that 80% of the firefighters have lost their homes.

Please consider donating whatever you, your fire company, your department, your association or agency is able to do.

100% of these proceeds go directly to a fund that will be used for immediate relief---additional details are below within the link.

Awesome to see! We rode for Alan this year! #NeverForget #CBH17

Gigantic thank you and hugs to the Hicks family for sponsoring the 27th floor in memory of James Alan "Truck" Hicks who is a fallen firefighter for NC Air National Guard.

Alan was affiliated with Flowes Store VFD and Jackson Park VFD. He served for ten years on Jackson Park and served as chief for two years. He also worked for Concord Fire & Rescue for ten years and Badin VFD. He then entered the Air National Guard Fire Department for five years having served as captain for two years. He loved cooking at the fire house for his brothers. He found time in his busy life to also serve as a fire instructor at Cleveland Community College. Alan had a passion for the fire department and was dedicated to his job.

He is truly missed by his wife of 26 years, Jenny Hicks; his son, Keith Hicks,and daughter in law, Nikki; his daughter, Amanda Hicks; his mother, Frances Hicks; his sister, Connie Hicks and her wife, Yvonne; his grandfather, Lawrence Hicks Jr.; and his large extended family of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and in laws. ...

The Hyco Fund is such an amazing organization. They continue to make a difference, everyday - in honor of K-9 Hyco and Brandon! Couldnt be more proud of them!! #NeverForget #Brotherhood #K9Hyco #CBH17

Why sign up for the 2nd Annual Hyco Memorial 5K? Because your registration fee helps purchase much needed equipment for K-9 units across South Carolina, like the equipment we purchased for Easley K-9 Officer Jose Medina and his partner K-9 Rex.
Officer Medina explained the importance of this new equipment provided by the Hyco K-9 Fund - by pointing out the old leather leads and harness were not only heavy and cut into his hand but also got tangled in brush, and made more noise. Another problem he had with the leather leads and collars is when they become wet it must be properly treated to avoid breaking and while being treated it cannot be used.

Officer Medina also shared with us this nice addition that with the gear provided to K-9 Rex he had his first apprehension which happened through thick brush and kudzu.

Because of someones registration from last years Hyco Memorial 5K we were able to purchase these things. Maybe it was yours! Sign up today - you never know what your registration fee will end up helping with!

‪Today is always a bitter-sweet day for us. It's where it all began back in 2011 with our first ride as a #Brotherhood. BUT it's also when we met & fell in love with Stacy Bowen. She will ALWAYS be a special part of our ride and we're so lucky to have her with us each year!
