To our members, families, and the entire Nichols Fire Protection District community:

Thank you!

The success of our annual WHAS Crusade for Children efforts is a direct reflection of the generosity, dedication, and servant-hearted spirit of this community. From the countless hours spent collecting donations to every dollar contributed, your support continues to make a difference in the lives of children and families across Kentucky.

This year was especially remarkable.

Thanks to your hard work and unwavering commitment, Nichols Fire Protection District achieved a record-breaking donation year for the Crusade for Children. That accomplishment belongs to every firefighter, volunteer, business, family, and community member who gave their time, effort, and resources to this cause.

I am honored to serve alongside such an outstanding group of individuals and to be part of a community that consistently steps up when it matters most.

On behalf of the Nichols Fire Protection District, thank you for helping us continue the tradition of giving hope, support, and opportunities to Kentucky’s children.

I'm proud to announce a grand donation total of $18,679.26.
