SPECIAL GUESTS:  
Al Kahn, Founder and Chairman of FIRST RESPONDERS CHILDRENS FOUNDATION (FRCF)  https://1strcf.org/ Mr. Kahn is the Founder and Chairman of First Responders Children’s Foundation (FRCF), a prominent National 501(c)(3) organization established in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks when 800 children lost a first responder parent while responding to this tragic event. Over the years, FRCF has grown into a nationally recognized organization that delivers a range of services and programs catering to the unique needs of first responder children and their families. From bereavement grants and college scholarships to hardship grants, mental health counseling, and community engagement events, FRCF is dedicated to making a lasting positive impact. In 2022 alone, the Foundation positively impacted over 130,000 children.


Assistant Chief Aaron Edwards, Patrol Borough Manhattan North Recipient of the NYPD Community Hero AwardHero Act: During March 2026 protests outside Gracie Mansion, Chief Edwards pursued two suspects after active Molotov cocktails were thrown at officers. His actions helped secure the suspect and avert a potential mass-casualty incident; no one was injured.


Matt McCauley, Board of Directors, FIRST RESPONDERS CHILDRENS FOUNDATION (FRCF), Recipient of the 9/11 Legacy of Advocacy Award  https://1strcf.org/  
The 9/11 Legacy of Advocacy Award is being presented to a dedicated team of advocates including John Feal, Jon Stewart, Matthew McCauley, Rich Roeill, Ivonne Sanchez, Rob Serra, Sgt. Tom Wilson, Lt. Michael O'Connell, Warden Richard Palmer, Jr., and posthumously to Luis Alvarez, who passed away in 2019 from 9/11-related cancer. This group of individuals turned personal tragedy into relentless national action, fighting tirelessly to drive the passage of historic legislation and secured vital funding for the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund.

National First Responders Day highlights the extraordinary bravery, sacrifice, and service of America’s first responders — including firefighters, emergency medical service, 911 dispatch, local and federal law enforcement, and volunteer first responders from across the nation.

First Responders Children’s Foundation has hosted the nation’s preeminent celebration for the day, the Roll Call of Heroes Ceremony in the heart of Times Square, now in its seventh year, commemorating National First Responders Day with a powerful public ceremony and recognizing heroes from across the country for their extraordinary service.

Jon Stewart, award-winning host of “The Daily Show” and dedicated first responder advocate, is the event’s host and MC for the second year, bringing together heroes, families, first responder agency leaders, elected officials, and supporters.
