FDNY Battalion Commander Jack Oehm to Speak at Our 15th Anniversary Party

We are excited to announce that Guest Speaker Jack Oehm, Battalion Commander FDNY (Ret.), will be joining us at our 15th Anniversary Celebration on May 17th!

Jack Oehm is a 32-year veteran of the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY). On 9/11, he was an off-duty Battalion Commander who arrived at Ground Zero shortly after the collapse of the second tower. He personally lost over 20 of his Battalion colleagues that day. Jack is an acclaimed speaker and ambassador for first responders nationwide. His inspiring talks raise awareness of the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice of first responders.

Mark your calendar for a night that promises to be heartwarming, uplifting, and deeply meaningful. Let’s celebrate 15 years of making a difference—together!
