Linda Giammona, director of development for the New York Police & Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund, said contributions to the 26-year-old charity spiked after 9/11, especially after getting a plug from President George W.Bush during a post-event visit to New York City. “It just opened up everyone’s eyes about the risk of being police officers and firefighters. It just provided such a connection between them and Wall Street, which really was the leader in doing that kind of charitable work. It said volumes.”
