The Greater St. Louis Area Firefighters Highland Guard is a dedicated pipes and drums band comprised of local firefighters. We are available to honor our colleagues in times of joy and sorrow. We have pipers and drummers from across the St. Louis Area.

We are always looking for financial assistance. Contributions to the Highland Guard made be made either by mail or conveniently via our donation page. We are also looking for firefighters willing to make the commitment to join the Highland Guard.

Thanks for visiting our website to learn more about our organization.

The Firefighters Highland Guard has represented the fire service of the Greater St. Louis Area for over 5 years. Each year we receive more requests for our participation in events throughout the St. Louis area, State of Missouri, as well other National Fire Service Events (IAFF Fallen Firefighter Memorial Colorado Springs CO, National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Emmitsburg MD, FDIC Indianapolis IN to name a few). This past year we filled over 100 requests for participation, not including our regular weekly practices.

Our members not only give of their time, but also carry the financial burden that comes with being a member of this organization. A recent attempt to provide a source of funding to our organization proved unsuccessful. Those attempts did prove to us though, that there are a significant number of firefighters in the St. Louis area who would like to provide assistance to help sustain our organization, and we are thankful for that attempt to support our cause.

The Firefighters Highland Guard for the past year or so has had the ability for persons who want to support our efforts to fund us through monthly recurring donations to our band. By signing up on our website, supporters are able to donate to our band through a Pay Pal account deduction or a monthly charge to your credit card. We had not promoted this fundraising option, hoping that those visiting our website would find it on their own.

With the recent show of support by our area fire service members, we decided it was time to promote this existing funding opportunity. To promote this, we are currently offering a free Highland Guard T-Shirt to anyone who signs up for a monthly recurring donation. Donations are tax deductible to our charitable organization as allowed by law, and you can stop your donation at any time. For those who are not able or interested in monthly donations to our organization, our website also allows for a one time donation to support our cause as well.

This flyer has more information about the free t-shirt offer.

To begin your monthly recurring donation or to make a one-time donation to our band, please visit our support page.

We would like to thank the Fire Service of the St. Louis Area who has supported us in the past, and extend a big thank you to those who consider supporting our ongoing efforts to represent our profession.

Respectfully,
Brian Zinanni, President
Greater St. Louis Area Firefighters Highland Guard
