Lt. Joseph P. DiBernardo Memorial Foundation Annual Seminars
A Legacy of Firefighter Training
Each year, the Lt. Joseph P. DiBernardo Memorial Foundation holds annual seminars to continue Joey’s legacy of training firefighters. These events features a variety of topics to help firefighters be proficient and safe in carrying out their duties.
How the Seminars Help
In addition to the valuable training offered, the seminars also serve as fundraisers for the Foundation. The proceeds from the seminars are used for the grant program that helps departments in need to provide personal life safety rope systems and related training to firefighters.
