Heroes Defense is a non-profit organization whose sole purpose is to provide support, resources, and aid to those individuals fighting for our freedoms and the American way of life. Heroes Defense, organized by Paul Davis and Qal-Tek Associates, stands to defend our nation’s heroes and ensure their bravery is both recognized and rewarded.
There is always something that can be done. The desire and drive to join with others as we support a great cause is what drives us to create multiple community activities throughout the year. We want to meet you and participate with you in supporting the defenders of our communities, small, and large!
Heroes Defense is honored to be able to provide the much-needed equipment, 15 AEDs, to the IFFD with funds raised at our 9/11 event. These will assist with the department’s ongoing efforts to increase survival rates for individuals experiencing a cardiac event.
Heroes Defense had the proud honor to present the Ammon City Fire Dept & Bonneville County Fire District a check for $10,000 to pay for the epoxy refinishing of their station floors. The last time they were able to have their floors refinished was 15 years ago. Since then, there hasn’t been money in the budget to be able to do so.
We were honored to be able to donate a portion of the funds raised from our 9/11 event to Friends of Firefighters. An organization that provides free Mental Health and Wellness Services to the FDNY Community since 2001.
During the pandemic, Heroes Defense, in partnership with Qal-Tek Associates donated several DECON7 D7 hand sanitizer bottles to the local police department, the Sheriff’s office and to local Fire Stations
The Heroes Defense Staff, and employees of both Paul Davis and Qal-Tek joined with members of the community of local businesses to run a 5K to raise awareness for some of the needs of the local police department.
Heroes Defense in partnership with Skyline GunClub sponsored a Sporting clay and Trap shoot competition where proceeds of the event went to support the Maser family after the loss of IFPD Officer Maser.
Hereos Defense is working to generate the funds and partner resources to construct two 9/11 Memorials here in Idaho Falls and Ammon! Like the Twin Towers in NYC, our combined communities of Idaho Falls and Ammon represent the unified brotherhood which responded on 9/11.
Our communities dedication, love and support for our local first responders is unique in its strength and depth.
Heroes Defense has worked to assist Ammon Fire in receiving their own piece of the steel from the 9/11 debris at NYC Fire Department center. This piece of steel will match with the Idaho Falls steel to represent the unified remembrance of 9/11. Our team is working with each city to develop a design which embodies their own representation of the 9/11 memory.
