Home ›Benefit Concert for Brian Allison
Please join us on Thursday, October 26, 2023 at the Fair Haven Columbus Club for a benefit concert by John Amabile as we raise money for longtime Fair Haven Fire Dept. and First Aid Squad member Brian Allison.
UPDATE: Life Guard raises more than $8,600 for local man
Brian Allison is a longtime volunteer and contributor to the Fire Department and First Aid Squad. Brian has consistently been a high percentage responder on calls and an eager participant in all Fire Co. activities and community events. His commitment to patient care and squad leadership has made an impact on many residents during their time of need. Now he needs us.
Not unlike other ailments, Brian’s weight presented a challenging health and work obstacle. He faced this challenge head on, and despite some other medical setbacks requiring hospitalization he was finally able to have a life-changing gastric sleeve surgical procedure in June 2023. Since then, he has been focused on his daily regiment of diet and exercise, and with no immediate family to support him, members of the fire company have become his defacto-family - offering encouragement and practical help when needed.
Local fundraising efforts were launched to help relieve Brian of significant financial stress, and to allow him to focus on his long-term physical and mental health.
Proceeds from this event will be used to pay for rent, utilities, insurance, fuel, food, clothing, and other necessities.
*Life Guard Ecumenical Foundation will be matching up the first $3000 in donations.
