SOLD OUT: Kevin Woyjeck Memorial Fishing Derby — Friday, September 2, 2022
The Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for Life Association
“Our purpose is to assist young men and women in the Fire Explorer Program with financial support and material donations.”
The Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for Life Association is a non-profit organization started by Kevin Woyjeck’s parents, Joe and Anna Woyjeck. It was founded as a way to honor and carry on Kevin’s legacy after his line of duty passing, battling the Yarnell, AZ wildfire on June 30th, 2013, alongside 19 crewmates. KWEFLA helps young men and women successfully participate in fire career related explorer programs, just like Kevin did himself. Kevin truly enjoyed the explorer program and what it had to offer him in reaching his dreams.
Fire explorer programs give young adolescents aging 15-21 years of age access to tools that help them follow their career goals, while shadowing real firefighters volunteering their time to teach and pass on knowledge. It fosters a priceless on-hand learning environment.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Support from the community, public and private sector is essential to our ability to support Fire Explorer programs across the country. To date, we’ve been able to donate gear, resources and funds to departments across California, Alabama and New York. To learn more how to make a difference, click here.

Todays tidbit…
Let’s live life to its fullest and instead of dwelling on the loss of the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots we focus on how even though they are gone they continue to give, so many great things have happened since their passing, so many great people have come together who otherwise wouldn't have come together to help so many on so many levels. RIP 19
