Our Mission

The mission of the Dude 21 Foundation is to support firefighters in furthering their careers with continuing education as well as serve the parents, widows, and children of fallen first responders.

Meet The Dude

“If you want to be happy, you have to invest in people. We get so caught up chasing money and materialistic and tangible objects, that really do nothing for us. When you die, what are people going to say about you? Are they gonna say, “Man, that guy drove an awesome truck,” or, “Man, that guy had nice clothes”? When you’re gone, people don’t remember those things, people don’t care about that. People care about who you are and your heart. If you invest in people, you will always be rich. If you have a full heart, you’ll be rich. And you can never have that if you don’t pour into other people.”
