Rothco is proud to announce that a donation of over $16,000 has been given to the organization Answer The Call also known as The New York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund. Answer The Call is dedicated to providing financial assistance and a network of support to the families of New York City First Responders (NYPD Officers, PAPD Officers, FDNY Firefighters, and FDNY EMS Workers) who have been killed in the line of duty, many of whom were 9/11 responders.

“Rothco is committed to giving back to our community and we wanted to find a way to give back to the First Responder community in a way that would honor and support their sacrifices; the Answer the Call Organization mission fell perfectly in-line with our goal. We are honored to be a part of this charity and see all the wonderful work they do with the families of fallen Police and Fire Fighters. ” Howard Somberg, President, Rothco

Rothco was able to make such a sizable donation to The New York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund by donating net proceeds from the sale of their Thin Blue/Thin Red/Thin Green Line merchandise from October 1^st, 2018 – October 1^st, 2019. The money raised will provide financial support to the families, which will allow them to pay bills, necessary house repairs, medical bills, special activities or trips to keep the memory of their loved one alive, school supplies, college tuition and so much more.

Rothco’s Thin Blue Line merchandise is a great way for people to show their support for the First Responder and Public Safety Community. You can view Rothco’s entire collection of Thin Blue Line and First Responder Support Gear here.

“The money raised by Rothco will go a VERY long way in assisting the families of our fallen heroes. We are so grateful for their support.” Rachel Trotta, Answer the Call Organization
