Benefiting the Anthem Emergency Responders Fund
This fund was created to help families of emergency responder personnel who primarily serve the Anthem area. It will assist families facing unforeseen tragedies, not only when a death of a responder occurs. There are volunteers to help those families in other ways, many of them members of the Network of Anthem Area Assistance Providers (NAAAP).
