FRESNO FIREFIGHTER FUNDRAISING COINIn a similar topic, Jeff Starck of Coin World writes: I’m sure there are legion of examples of numismatic items being used as fundraisers for non-profit causes, and here is another.

Thanks. Here's an excerpt from the article. -Editor
The Los Angeles Fire Department has created a coin as a benefit for the family of injured Fresno firefighter Pete Dern, who was critically burned while battling a home fire in March. The collectible coin can be purchased for $25 through the Fire Family Foundation, with $20 of each coin going toward expenses for Dern’s family ($3 pays for shipping and $2 goes to the foundation). Dern, a Fire Department captain, was hurt March 25 when he fell through the roof of a burning garage. He sustained second- and third-degree burns on 65% of his body.
