$10,000 donation to the Fullerton, (CA) fire dept to support the start up of their cadet program.
On January 15,2026 Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for Life Association Founder, Treasurer and most importantly, Kevin’s mom—Anna, along with Board Member Erin Stibal and I, had the honor of presenting a check for $10,000 to the Fullerton Fire Department in support of the new cadet program they are launching, with an anticipated start this July.
Many of Fullerton’s firefighters came up through cadet and explorer programs themselves, and they are genuinely excited to give back to the fire service by investing in the next generation.
Thank you to the Chief Loeser and to Captain Mike Lytle for their vision and commitment to developing future firefighters. And, of course, thank you to all of our donors—this support is only possible because of you. Joe Woyjeck President, KWEFLA ... See MoreSee Less
1/2/26 The year came in with a bang! A multiple thousand dollar donation on 12/31/25 from Mike R. and a $25,000 dollar donation from Mark. This $25,000 can only be used for education and unlike the years before it is not limited to the state of California. Sooooooooo, (Kevin started most conversations with, “Soooooo”) if you have a fire cadet or explorer program or a cadet/explorer in need please reach out. explorersforlife.org One of the best ways to support us is by an automatic monthly donation. If you donate $10 a month it equates to $120 a year…. Thank you all for the support! 2026 is going to be a great year! ... See MoreSee Less

December 17, 2025 (The 102nd birthday of the LA County Fire Department)
Anna and I made the trek to Downtown Los Angeles to answer questions from representatives of the LA County Board of Supervisors as we near completion of a partnership agreement between the County of Los Angeles Fire Department and the Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for Life Association.
This is an agreement we’ve been working toward for nearly a year. At this meeting we were fortunate to be first on the agenda and even more fortunate that there were no questions. That’s usually a good thing… I think.
The next step is for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to vote on the agreement at an upcoming Board meeting.
Our partnership with the County is a natural one. Kevin and Bobby loved being LA County Fire Explorers, and with 10 million people in LA county this partnership will allow us to better support underserved young adults who are pursuing a future in the fire service.
1000% support this program - this is our best hope for the future of the fire service as we know it
Outstanding !!!
Everything is going to be ok…🚒
Such important work, my brother, Godspeed, and God bless your vision. 🙏 merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family.

Take Two! While filming in Arizona, Bourke spent the day at Wildlife World Zoo for the Red & Blue Fire and Police Appreciation event — and it turned into the perfect moment to announce our Hollywood Giveaway winner, John Lopez.
A heartfelt thank-you to Jessie Keller @jessiekeller24, who invited KWEFLA to be part of this special day, and to Fire Captain Jesse Nettles and his family for representing us with so much heart. And of course, a big shoutout to Crockett, the very talented sea lion who stole the show.
Bourke — thank you for continuing to show up for us in such meaningful ways. Your support has helped us share Kevin’s story farther than we ever imagined.
The year isn’t over yet, and there’s still time to make a donation to support Fire Explorers and Cadets.
All donation info is in our bio.
We are continually amazed by the ripples of kindness. 💜 ... See MoreSee Less

Kevin was a proud member of Class 134, and supporting future firefighters through moments like this is at the heart of our mission.
