Jim Beam and Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund Assist Families of Firefighters in Need.

The Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing firefighters and their families with financial assistance for their educational, medical and equipment needs. This charity was formed in honor of Terry Farrell, a decorated firefighter with FDNY Rescue 4 and the Fire Chief of the Dix Hills Volunteer Fire Department who perished on September 11, 2001, while fighting fires and rescuing victims at the World Trade Center. Since 2005, Jim Beam has been a supporter of the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund, and now donates $2.00 from the sale of each case of specially labeled bottles to the organization.
