Salt Lake City (April 3, 2008) - Chapman Innovations^®, manufacturers of CarbonX^® non-flammable fabrics, announced today that it is working to raise awareness and increase support for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF, www.firehero.org) through a "Supporting America's Bravest" t-shirt giveaway at its booth, #153, at the FDIC show April 10 -12 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. Chapman Innovations will also be accepting donations, 100 percent of which will go to the Foundation.

"The Chapman Innovations team greatly appreciates the sacrifice firefighters make everyday as they risk their lives, to save our property and our lives," said Bob Goulet, chief operating officer, Chapman Innovations. "Not only do we want to help protect the firefighters from burn injuries with our non-flammable fabrics, we also want to help honor those heroes who have fallen in the line of duty and support their families. The NFFF is doing amazing work, we want to help them in any way we can."

Congress created the NFFF to lead a nationwide effort to honor America's fallen firefighters. Since 1992, the nonprofit Foundation has developed and expanded a wide range of programs that honor and remember America's fallen firefighters and provide support and resources for their families and co-workers.

"We are so thankful for Chapman Innovations' generosity and grateful that they have offered to donate these t-shirts and procure donations for our Foundation," stated Catherine Hedrick, director of survivor programs, NFFF. "The funds raised at the show will be used to provide services and resources to the families and co-workers who have lost a firefighter."
