Our Programs & Initiatives
Every program we run exists because of Olivia, Edison, and Colette. Through fire safety, education, and community action, we turn their legacy into lasting protection for families everywhere.
Created in their honor, our programs are designed to ensure no other family endures this kind of loss.
🛡️ Fire Safety Outreach Program
Origins & Prevention
Our flagship program provides families with life-saving fire safety equipment and education. We believe prevention is the most powerful form of protection.
The Need: Every 93 seconds, a home fire is reported in the US. Approximately 3,670 lives are lost annually — most in homes lacking basic fire safety equipment. Working smoke alarms alone reduce fire death risk by 55%.
Fire Safety Boxes
Free distribution of fire extinguishers, fire blankets, and escape ladders to families in need.
Community Workshops
Interactive fire safety training for families, teaching emergency response, evacuation planning, and prevention.
School Education
Age-appropriate fire safety lessons taught in schools, empowering children to respond calmly in emergencies.
🎓 Scholarship & Education Program
Empowerment Through Learning
Education is our cornerstone — because awareness prevents tragedy and opportunity transforms lives. We invest in the next generation by removing financial barriers to education and fostering leadership skills in young people.
The Impact: We partner with St. Laurence Catholic School and other institutions to provide scholarships, fire safety education in schools, and workshops that teach families and children how to respond calmly in emergencies.
OEC Scholarships
Annual scholarships for high school seniors pursuing higher education, with preference for students demonstrating community service.
Leadership Workshops
Youth leadership and personal development programs that empower students to become changemakers in their communities.
Mental Health Support

Community is the heart of everything we do — the hands that help, the voices that spread awareness, and the collective strength that makes prevention possible. Our programs bring people together in service, support, and solidarity.
The Mission: From our annual Casino Night gala to volunteer drives and family support initiatives, we're building a world where every family is prepared, every community shows up for one another, and every precious moment is protected.
