CHICAGO (Feb. 17, 2016) – The Chicago Fire Foundation announced Wednesday the 25 members of the first-ever Chicago Fire Foundation Associates Board. This dynamic group of young professionals will act as ambassadors for the Chicago Fire Foundation by supporting events and programs such as P.L.A.Y.S. (Participate, Learn, Achieve, Youth, Soccer).
