The charitable foundation to provide two first responder grants this month
Their first stop will be on Wednesday, November 1st at 11:30 a.m. at the Celina Fire Department located at 1413 S. Preston Rd. Celina, TX. During this visit the Foundation will present the department with a grant of $10,000 to outfit their department’s medics with protective armor and the necessary tools to enter an active shooter situation to provide rapid care and treatment.
The Dickey Foundation’s next stop will be in Butte, Montana on November 7th at 11:30 a.m., providing the Butte Silverbow Sheriff’s Department located at 2800 Harrison Avenue, Butte, MT 59701, with a grant of $7,500.

“The Dickey Foundation is grateful for the opportunity to offer support and equipment for additional safety to the first responders of the Celina and Butte communities,” said Roland Dickey Jr., CEO Dickey’s Capital Group. “We look forward to continuing the mission of helping those who protect and serve every day.”
