41 & 9 Foundation. The Henry Schueler 41 & 9 Foundation is dedicated to the memory of Henry and to perpetuate his legacy from his unfinished life. Hank passed away on December 14, 2007 at the age of 14.  Henry Schueler had leukemia.

The Illinois Fire Safety Alliance. The IFSA operates Camp I Am Me, which was formally known as the Burn Camp.

The purpose of the Alliance is to bring together persons or groups with a common interest in fire safety, burn prevention, and public education, and to promote programs and disseminate information related to fire safety and burn prevention.

Ignite the Spirit. Firefighters are everyday people, with one exception – when they go to work, they are literally putting their lives at risk. The Ignite the Spirit Fund was created to raise funds for Chicago firefighters and their families in times of need.

The Gold Badge Society. The Chicago Fire Department Gold Badge Society was founded February 17, 1991. Our membership is comprised of the widowed and families of firefighters and paramedics who have made the ultimate sacrifice: losing their lives in the line of duty.

Camp I Am Me – The Burn Camp. Every year, Camp I Am Me is held at YMCA Camp Duncan the third week of June. Visitors day is the Wednesday of that week.
