The Ventura County Professional Firefighters Association, IAFF Local 1364 (VCPFA) is committed to helping charitable causes through its Charity Fund. We have been able to do this primarily through monetary donation to various organizations and local fund raising. 

This year VCPFA Local 1364 is looking to expand our efforts to give back to the community that we so proudly serve.  That is why VCPFA is spearheading an effort to have as many professional firefighters as possible join a registry for bone marrow donation.  We are happy to announce that we are working with the Be the Match Registry of the National Marrow Donor Program and the Firefighter Cancer Support Network. Be the Match Registry is the largest and most diverse in the world with nearly 7 million people registered so far.  The Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN) provides service and guidance to all members of the fire service and their families in the event of a cancer diagnosis.  We now have a way to truly give back to our communities and offer another chance at saving a life; a chance to those who are fighting Leukemia, Lymphoma and other life threatening diseases by being bone marrow donors.

Starting in March, VCPFA will work with Be the Match and FCSN in an effort to get as many of our members as possible into the registry. After we have reached out to our members we will expand the efforts to include other Locals within Ventura County, Santa Barbara County and San Luis Obispo. The next step would be to focus on the members within the Southern California Locals. If we are successful in our efforts the VCPFA intends to ask California Professional Firefighters for their support in taking this drive to the state level.

We hope the synergy that is created within our local will continue and gain momentum as we expand the drive to include other affiliates.  This is another way that we as professional firefighters can give back to the communities that we serve and ask that you take the first step in saving a life by joining the registry.
