Tulsa Firefighters Educational Clowns
Tulsa
The "Tulsa Educational Clowns" and "Huffy & Friends" present Fire Safety Education programs to over 50,000 children and distribute about 50,000 Fire and Life Safety materials annually in and around the Tulsa area. We also support an apartment near Hillcrest Hospital's Alexander Burn Center for families of severely burned loved ones. We put on our performances during our off-duty time from the Tulsa Fire Department and have earned several local, state and national awards for our work. The demand is so great for our shows that we are currently booked for over a year in advance!! Annual expenses total over $90,000.00. We try to meet these expense with donations received through private, corporate, and local fund raisers. Both groups have the support of the Governor of the State of Oklahoma, The Mayor of the City of Tulsa, the Tulsa Fire Chief and the Tulsa Public Schools.
The "Tulsa Firefighters Educational Clowns" teach Fire Prevention and Fire Safety 8 to 12 times a month as volunteers and require a minimum of 200 children per show during the current school year and 50 children per show during the summer break. Along with Huffy, they distribute the coloring books to the children.
