After raising nearly $150,000 for a New York firefighters fund to benefit widows and children of the World Trade Center collapse, members of the La Verne Fire Department traveled Nov. 16-19 to Ground Zero to deliver the money.
In an effort to help the widows and orphans of firefighters who died trying to save victims of the Sept. 11 attacks, the La Verne Fire Department started a "Fill the Boot" fundraiser.
