September 11th-25 Year Commemorative Tin/Keychain (FUNDRAISER)

We have struggled with whether to offer a September 11th product for a long time. 9/11 should never be a sales opportunity. It should never be commercialized, exploited, or used as a way to make money from the loss of 343 FDNY firefighters and the thousands of others whose lives were forever changed that day. At the same time, we have received hundreds of requests for a commemorative piece over the years. As Taylor's Tins has grown within the fire service, we feel a responsibility to provide something meaningful for those who have asked us for it. But we REFUSE to profit from it. 110% of every sale from this collection will be donated to Friends of Firefighters, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in the days following September 11, 2001. The organization began by providing meals to exhausted rescue workers and support at FDNY funerals and memorials. Today, they continue that mission by providing free, confidential mental health counseling and wellness services to active and retired FDNY firefighters and their families. Yep 110%. Taylor's Tins will add an additional 10% beyond the total sales ourselves. The artwork for this commemorative piece was created by fire service artist Zack Newton, whose signature appears subtly within the design. Available as a 6" Taylor's Tins metal shield, keychain, or both. We will make our donation publicly and continue announcing the running totals throughout the sale so there is complete transparency about where the money is going. This isn't about selling September 11th. It's about remembrance, reverence, and giving people something they've repeatedly asked us to create while making absolutely certain that something good comes from every single one sold. Never Forget. Available through September 30.
