About Us

The Northwestern Lehigh Firefighter Foundation was established in response to the tragic loss of firefighters Zachary Paris and Marvin Gruber of New Tripoli Fire Company while battling a house fire on December 7th, 2022

Our Mission

Work with the Northwestern Lehigh community to raise awareness, appreciation, and resources to support the volunteer firefighters and those injured or fallen in the line of duty.

Local business leaders, legislative representatives, community leaders and a lifelong firefighter joined together just weeks after the tragic events of December 2022 to form The Northwestern Lehigh Firefighters Foundation. The original contributing members included: Kylie Adams-Weiss, Chad Butters, Justin Smith, Ronald Jerdon, Donald Christ, Steve Feinour, and John Hayes.
