Firefighters and Professional Comedians take the stage for the 8th Annual NY’s Bravest Night of Comedy  to benefit the Thomas Elsasser Scholarship Fund for Widows and Children of FDNY members who die outside the line of duty.

Queens, NY May 18th 2007 — 8pm at Queensboro College, 10 Funny NYC Firefighters along with professional comedians take the stage for the 8th Annual NY’s Bravest Night of Comedy to benefit the Thomas Elsasser Scholarship Fund for widows and children of FDNY members who die outside the line of duty. Comedian Mike Bower hosts and Bobby Collins is headlining the show.

The Thomas Elsasser fund is for widows and children of firefighters who die non line of duty. When a firefighter makes the supreme sacrifice while working his family will be taken care of financially by the city. If a firefighters just passes away the pain and suffering are the same but the benefits are drastically reduced. Back in 1997 Firefighter John Halverson was jogging on the track at Centereach HS when a deranged teenager walked up to him and shot John in the chest. At the time of his death John Halverson had 2 years on the job and his wife Randie was pregnant with twins. This fund will assure that children like John & Randie Halverson’s twin girls and many others like them will get a good education.
