We continue with our podcasts spotlighting our Board Members. This podcast is with one of our senior board members Mr. Joseph Coppotelli. Joe shares with us his recollection of the early days of the benefit fund. We discuss the importance of supporting the widows and families of those have given their lives for the citizens of New York City. We hope you enjoy the podcast and we encourage your comments.
Some of the best work is done at a grass roots or as you refer to it “loosely configured” level. The end result was a well respected charity that has been helping those in need for over 25 years. Wish you the best on the next 25.
I agree with your discussion on the older widows who had little or no pension. Times were very different back then and I am pleased to hear that their loss is also remembered.
I visit NYC frequently and everytime I am in the cityi I feel safe. Thanks to the men in blue.
I think it is wonderful that there are organizations like yourself who take care of the families of fallen Police Officers, Fire Fighters, Port Authority Officers and EMS personnel.
NYC’s finest and bravest need to be better compensated! They should be making Wall Street salaries.
Joe you are a fine man for dedicating so much of your time & efforts to this reputable organization. Hats off to you.
I’m a student and therefore, little money, but I appreciate your reaching out to all New Yorkers. Thanks for recognizing that every little bit counts.
