Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que Restaurants Host Charity Event for Fallen Firefighters

For more than 105 years, the families of fallen Los Angeles Firefighters have been able to count on one thing: the Widows and Orphans Fund of the Los Angeles Firemen's Relief Association.

Moved by the work of this renowned organization - once funded solely by grieving co-workers, caring members of our community have sought fun and meaningful ways to lend their support.

One prime [no pun intended] example, is the team at Famous Dave's Barbecue Restaurants, who open their hearts and share a generous portion of their proceeds at seven California locations to honor fallen firefighters and those they leave behind.

This once-a-year event will take place from 11AM to 10PM on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 and requires only that you bring a special flyer when you enjoy your lunch or dinner at one these California locations:

Simi Valley 1229 Simi Town Center Way Simi Valley, CA 93065 805-522-7227

Long Beach 300 South Pine Drive Long Beach, CA 90802 562-436-9260

Thousand Oaks 3980 Thousand Oaks Blvd Thousand Oaks, CA 91362 805-497-0227

Vista 303 Vista Village Drive Vista, CA 92083 760-726-7866

Palmdale 1205 Rancho Vista Blvd Palmdale, CA 93551 661-225-9616
