Firehouse Subs Supports Oshawa First Responders at Scott Firefit Competition Event

Firehouse Subs Oshawa is showing its support for hometown heroes as the city hosts its first Scott FireFit competition event. The event is a regional qualifier for the Scott FireFit Championships, a nationwide competition in which individuals and teams of firefighters representing different departments compete to showcase the fitness level of firefighters and the challenges they face daily.

To support the city of Oshawa and the local firefighters competing, Firehouse Subs will host a corporate challenge relay, games and activities throughout the weekend with a goal to raise $5,000 for its non-profit, Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation of Canada. Those proceeds will go towards the purchase of new bunker gear for Oshawa Public Safety. Additionally, the Foundation will celebrate a $10,000 donation to the Oshawa Fire Services Junior Firefighter Program.

Founded by brothers and former firefighters Chris Sorensen and Robin Sorensen, it is a brand built on decades of fire and police service, steaming hot subs piled higher with the highest quality meats and cheeses and its commitment to saving lives through the establishment of the nonprofit, Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation®. The founders are the real deal, the food is their creation and the company is built upon a family of franchise operators who share their same passion for serving others.
