See below for The 2650 Foundation’s statement on The 15 Days of Hope…
‘The 2650 Foundation is proud to announce our first annual Fifteen Days of Hope in memory of Firefighter Austin Duran.
As we enter the summer, this year marks two years since Austin's death. Between June 30th and July 15th of 2022, the city of Apopka truly surrounded the Duran family and The Apopka Fire Department with so much support in so many different ways. From the churches that ensured every station had meals provided, little ones hosting lemonade stands, local businesses hosting fundraisers, the Apopka community truly showed how unified we can be.
In this second year, with the support of the Duran family, we look to recreate that support for our fire department in loving memory of Austin Duran.
Beginning on June 30th, community members, in partnership with members of our board, The 2650 Foundation will be hosting the third Austin Duran Community Vigil at Austin's memorial sight at 10am-11am. Following, we invite the community to join us at Three Odd Guys for an afternoon of fellowship.
For the next two weeks, we will be supporting various events across the community in memory of Austin Duran. Your participation could be as big or as small as you would like. Take your kids to tour a fire station, bring cookies or a couple cases of water with you, host a lemonade stand or another fundraiser to donate to 2650. Something as simple as posting a photo in a 2650 shirt brings awareness and support to Austin's memory.
On July 15th, we will be observing a day of silence so the family and those closest to Austin can have that day to themselves.
More information with specific events for the Fifteen Days of Hope will be released in the coming days. We look forward to once again seeing our community unite and support those that support us in our time of need, in Austin's name.
If you would like to get involved and need our support, please reach out to our COO Megan Garcia at [email protected].’
