GLOBE MANUFACTURING COMPANY kicked off its partnership with the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund at FDIC 2014. With its supplier partner, 3M, Globe invited attendees to try its latest turnout gear on the Globe Firefighter Athletic Circuit and committed to make a $10 donation to the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund in each firefighter's name. 3M matched each donation. In total, Globe and 3M donated $20,000 to the fund from the Globe Firefighter Athletic Circuit at FDIC. "We believe in the mission of the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund and have welcomed them into the Globe family," says Rob Freese, senior vice president of marketing at Globe Manufacturing Company. "Globe has always given back to the fire service, and we are delighted to be able to help firefighters and departments through this worthy cause and hard working group of volunteers."
