About Surrey Fire Fighters' Charitable Society
Strengthening communities through licensed charitable raffle programs
Our Society's History
Surrey Fire Fighters' Charitable Society was founded with the goal of establishing reliable funding streams for British Columbia charitable programs.

Our identity honors the heroes in our midst – the dedicated first responders, community volunteers, and everyday champions who protect and strengthen our neighborhoods. Through our commitment to service and integrity, we unite people for the greater community benefit.
