As the 2023 holiday season approaches, Guardian First Responders is getting ready to once again sponsor the Fountain Hills First Responders Christmas Tree on the Avenue of the Fountains.
The tree will be adorned with ribbons bearing the names of those being honored or remembered and will be lit Saturday, Dec. 2, as a focal point at the community’s annual Stroll in the Glow celebration, remaining on display throughout the holidays.
Donations are now being accepted to cover the costs of the tree and to benefit Under the Shield, a non-profit organization established to meet the unique needs of law enforcement, fire service, emergency medical service, military personnel and their family members by providing support through confidential services, education and public awareness.

As the 2023 holiday season approaches, Guardian First Responders is getting ready to once again sponsor the Fountain Hills First Responders Christmas Tree on the Avenue of the Fountains.
The tree will be adorned with ribbons bearing the names of those being honored or remembered and will be lit Saturday, Dec. 2, as a focal point at the community’s annual Stroll in the Glow celebration, remaining on display throughout the holidays.
Donations are now being accepted to cover the costs of the tree and to benefit Under the Shield, a non-profit organization established to meet the unique needs of law enforcement, fire service, emergency medical service, military personnel and their family members by providing support through confidential services, education and public awareness.
“These first responders statistically lead our society in suicide, alcohol and substance abuse, domestic violence, divorce, depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,” a press release read. “Under the Shield has worked with thousands of individuals and their families to provide peer support, stress coaching, and other resources to improve mental wellness for those who need assistance.”
Follow the links to donate and/or to order a $25 personalized ribbon for the Guardian First Responder Tree with the name of the honoree and your choice of ribbon color (blue for law enforcement, red for firefighters, green for armed forces, yellow for security, orange for dispatch and corrections,or white for EMS and medical field). Ribbon orders are due by Nov. 15 and all donations are tax-deductible.
