CLARKSVILLE, TN – Clarksville Fire Rescue presented Christina Watson, executive director of SAFE: Soldiers and Families Embraced, with a check for $5,500 from the proceeds of the department’s T-shirt fundraiser.
“The May fundraiser was a fun and worthy experience for CFR. Seeing the shirts around the city during May was a reminder to us that SAFE is a valuable asset to the military and first responder community and our families. We were happy to see the results of our efforts go to such a deserving organization,” Chief Freddie D. Montgomery Jr. said.
“The support of our community is essential to the mission of SAFE. We are so thankful for Clarksville Fire Rescue, this donation and how they serve every day!” Watson said.
