The organization is a non-profit group who grants wishes to children with illness or disabilities. Event organizers estimated funds gained from the event would be over a quarter of a million dollars.

Tommy Bender registered our unit in memory of his infant nephew, Jared Ryan Sigle, who died from SIDS in 2007. A banner was placed on the front of the Truck in his memory. © 2001-2006 Eden Fire Company Top of Page
