The 2650 Foundation is proud to announce our first annual Fifteen Days of Hope in memory of Firefighter Austin Duran.
As we enter the summer, this year marks two years since Austin's death. Between June 30th and July 15th of 2022, the city of Apopka truly surrounded the Duran family and The Apopka Fire Department with so much support in so many different ways. From the churches that ensured every station had meals provided, little ones hosting lemonade stands, local businesses hosting fundraisers, the Apopka community truly showed how unified we can be. Following the annual community vigil on June 30th, The 2650 Foundation will be supporting initiates all over town in honor of Austin Duran.
Your participation could be as big or as small as you would like.
Take your kids to tour a fire station
Drop off cookies or a couple cases of water to your local fire station
Host a lemonade stand or another fundraiser to donate to 2650
Something as simple as posting a photo in a 2650 shirt brings awareness and support to Austin's memory.
If you would like to get involved and need our support, please reach out to our COO Megan Garcia at the2650foundation@gmail.com
