The Fire & Security Executive Club will hold its annual Executive Club Dinner Nov. 2 in New York City, bringing together security and fire safety industry professionals while raising funds to support young burn survivors.

The event is scheduled for 5 to 9 p.m. at BOND 45, 221 West 46th Street. Proceeds will benefit the New York Firefighters Burn Center Foundation and its efforts to help send children to burn camp.

This year’s dinner will recognize seven leaders from the security and fire safety sectors:

  • Christine Higgins, executive director, NJELSA
  • Kirk MacDowell, founder and president, MacGuard Security Advisors
  • John Nemerofsky, COO, Sage Integration
  • Bill Ackerman, president, Ackerman Services
  • Jerry Lenander, CEO, Syncomm
  • Perette Genoese, executive director, nyFAA
  • Lessing Gold, partner, MSK

The event is being led this year by Elsie Deery and Wanda Nazar, who took over leadership responsibilities from Ken Gould, who remains involved.

Deery represents the New York Firefighters Burn Center Foundation and has supported burn care and other charitable initiatives. Nazar has more than 20 years of experience in the fire alarm industry, associations and charities.

Individual tickets for the dinner are $175, while a table for eight is $1,200. The Fire & Security Executive Club is also offering four levels of corporate sponsorship ranging from $1,000 to $10,000.

All sponsorship levels include company logo recognition on the event registration page, inclusion in the event’s PowerPoint slideshow and verbal recognition during the dinner. Sponsorship packages include the $10,000 Phoenix Sponsor, $5,000 Endurance Sponsor, $2,500 Hope Sponsor and $1,000 Courage Sponsor. Packages include varying numbers of complimentary dinner tickets, with the Phoenix level also providing an opportunity for a company representative to speak briefly during the event.

“Sponsorship is not just about a logo on a sign,” the event organizing committee stated in an announcement. “You are giving a child friendship, confidence, courage, hope, and healing.”

The evening’s Phoenix theme represents the resilience, healing and recovery of young burn survivors.

The New York Firefighters Burn Center Foundation supports burn care, research, prevention, education and treatment, including the Burn Center at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center.

This year’s fundraising includes support for Children’s Burn Camp, which provides young burn survivors with a camp environment where they can spend time with peers who have experienced similar challenges.

Registration for the dinner and corporate sponsorships is available online. Additional information about corporate giving and the event is available from Christine Higgins at [email protected] or (848) 992-1096.
