Our Mission

RESPONDERPALOOZA is an annual fundraiser that showcases the talents of local 1st responders in an effort to raise money for good things. Music is a great outlet and can greatly reduce stress. As a paramedic of 10 years I've seen many friends succumb to their mental health injuries in real time. I like helping while at work and now I want to help those whom I work with. I'm proud to say it's received world-wide recognition and has raised tens of thousands of dollars for local initiatives.

SOS4EMS came to life when RESPONDERPALOOZA hit it's ceiling. In an effort to reach and help more people it's turned into an online campaign. Its mission is to help bring awareness about PTSD affecting front line responders.

Combining RESPONDERPALOOZA and SOS4EMS is our way of supporting 1st responders Including paramedics, emergency dispatchers, firefighters, nurses and more. With your help one day I hope RESPONDERPALOOZA can be a weekend festival loaded with responder fuelled bands with the goal of fundraising for local charities and generating PTSD awareness.
