About NCPSF
When Sugar Hill Police Chief, Jose Pequeno, was seriously wounded while serving in Iraq, many concerned residents established the “Bring Jose Home” project. They organized the construction of a new handicap accessible home and raised extra funds to help support Jose and his family.
The North Country Public Service Foundation was established when it was realized the knowledge gained and the resources created could help other first responders and their families. The Foundation is “dedicated to the support of public safety officers and their families in times of need, by providing expertise and structure to community relief efforts and fundraising.”
A combined awards ceremony and fundraiser is held at the Mt. Washington Hotel each fall. Many generous sponsors purchase tables for the dinner, advertisements in the ceremony booklet and make other donations. The event concludes with the presentation of the awards.
Nominations should be mailed to NCPSF, PO Box 239, Franconia, NH 03580. The deadline is Tuesday, August 21st. If you have any questions email them to chief@sugarhillfd.org or call 603-494-1491.
