This year’s Ladders Up for the Foundation was held on April 30th at the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs annual trade show and convention in Toronto. The Saturday night event and on-line auction raised more than $23,500 for the CFFF Education Fund for children and spouses of fallen firefighters. The five year event has now surpassed $134,000!!
