Special Needs Hero Award

Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. has worked with many families over the decades facing unforeseen events. When children are born with disabilities or special needs are caused due to accidental injury, it is often special education school teachers and workers that make the biggest difference in a child’s life. To honor these individuals, we host the Special Needs Hero Nomination and recognize these unsung heroes who are often overlooked by the community.

Families, students, and friends were encouraged to nominate a local special education teacher or worker who stands out. Winners were selected based on how they go above and beyond their classroom, how they stand out to their students, and how they make a difference at school and outside of it.

The winner received a $250 cash prize, a $250 cash prize to the school, organization, or non-profit of their choice, as well as a pizza party for up to 25 people.

Detroit PAL-oween

Bikes for Kids Giveaway

Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. hosted its first Bikes for Kids Giveaway, where 10 deserving children were nominated by teachers, mentors or parents and were selected to win a brand new bike. The winning children were chosen based on their work in the community, stories about their home and school life, and if they had ever owned a bike before!

In an effort to promote bike safety, each child was also given a helmet fit just for them donated by Ascension Hospital in Rochester. We all remember learning to ride a bike for the first time, and providing this experience to these amazing children was exciting and inspiring!
