Smoky Mountain Firefighters Foundation is a registered 501c3 Charitable Organization whose mission it is to support firefighters that risk their lives to keep us safe, fire departments and burn centers. The organization will donate 80% of proceeds from HOTSHOTS 5K to fire departments in Sevier County. The remainder will support teen driving safety programs and administration costs.

HOTSHOTS 5K is the organization’s inaugural event. A Christmas project for children of fallen first responders is also being planned.
