On behalf of the widows and children of the Chicago Fire Department the Ende, Menzer, Walsh & Quinn Retirees’,Widows’ and Children’s Assistance Fund welcome and thank you for visiting our website.

It is the sole purpose of the Ende, Menzer, Walsh & Quinn Retiree's, Widow's and Children’s Assistance Fund to provide financial assistance annually to the neediest widows and orphans of the Chicago Fire Department from the resources accumulated by the organization.

Through the continuing support of dedicated active and retired firefighters and paramedics, kindhearted families and friends, and generous corporations and organizations, the Ende Menzer Walsh and Quinn Retirees’ Widows’ and Children’s Assistance Fund is able to provide an annual tax-free distribution to our neediest widows and children at Christmas. 

On November 25, 2012, a new Police and Fire Memorial  was dedicated at St. Rita High School. The original artwork was created by CFD Lt. Timothy McCarthy and then turned into a beautiful Mosaic by Artist Joe Folisce.

Lt. McCarthy is now offering prints of the artwork for sale at his studio, McCarthy Fine Arts with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Ende, Menzer, Walsh & Quinn Retirees’,Widows’ and Children’s Assistance Fund.

Thanks to Tim and his wife Susan for their generosity and continued support of the Fund. To learn more visit: http://www.mccarthyfinearts.com
