Here is an excerpt from an article that went out on the newswire about Jim Beam’s limited special label bottles that were used to raise funds for our organization:
Jim Beam, the worlds number one selling bourbon, and its distributors, proudly announce their renewed commitment and support of the Terry Farrell Firefighters Scholarship Fund. For the second consecutive year, Jim Beam bourbon has created a dedicated quantity of commemorative label bottles to honor this important charity which provides much needed financial aid to the sons and daughters of New York firefighters. Last year, Southern Wine & Spirits (SWS) of New York, a wholesale wine and spirits distributor, initiated the program with Jim Beam, which was concentrated in the Manhattan area. This year, Jim Beam distributors in New York State, northern New Jersey, and Fairfield County, Connecticut have joined the program and will donate a portion of sales from more than 5,600 cases of the limited edition bottles sold.
…
Terry Farrell Fund special label bottles are available in on- and off-premise retail locations in the New York metro area and upstate New York, northern New Jersey, and Fairfield County, Connecticut, as well as in duty-free shops in Newark, JFK, and LaGuardia airports beginning as of July. Further extending its support, Jim Beam distributors in these locations will also donate a portion of sales to the scholarship fund from every case of Jim Beam White Label 4-Year-Old Bourbon Whiskey, Jim Beam Black Label 8-Year-Old Bourbon Whiskey and Jim Beams Choice Bourbon Whiskey sold during 2007, up to a maximum contribution of $44,000. Since 2005, over $100,000 has been raised in support of this program.
Events are planned to celebrate this partnership on August 3rd at the East Syracuse Fire Department, in Syracuse, New York and the following week at the Mirage Nightclub in Westbury, Long Island. At the Syracuse event on August 3rd, Larry Romer, of SWS, will make a presentation to the brothers of Terry Farrell, a fallen firefighter who along with 342 of his rescue co-workers was a victim of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Scholarships awarded from the fund are open to a child or children of an active duty, retired, disabled or deceased firefighter who is, or has served in the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) or a volunteer department.
While keeping with the current look and feel of the traditional Jim Beam label, special edition labels were created for this fundraising effort with slight modifications from the 2006 label. In place of the Jim Beam logo on the face of the bottle there is a fire hat bearing the number 343, signifying the number of firefighters in Terry Farrells squad who were killed on September 11, 2001. Additionally, the side of the bottle provides details on the sponsorship along with the website address for the fund, www.terryfarrellfund.org, urging consumers to visit the site to make a donation or to learn more. The 2007 bottle will also be topped by a red cap, signifying a firefighter helmet.

Thank-you. As a friend and colleague of Terry, as well as a recipient of the scholarship, I am honored and thankful that both Terry and his cause are being recognized.
I saw the special bottle of Jim Bean whilst awaiting a flight home from JFK to Manchester UK after an awe inspiring visit to Manhattan, I am a Watch Commander with the Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service here in the UK. although it took 15 minutes for the checkout assisstant to find the right code on her till for the sale i was determined to have the last bottle and make a contribution to the fund. Maximum respect to all FDNY officers and men from a fellow fire Officer on the other side of the pond. let me know if there is anything i can do to assisst to keep the fund going from over here, I would like to think of helping someone achieve a career as a FDNY firefighter. many thanks
Very good post! Thank you for the work done!
i was wondering where i could purchase a bottle i know its a year after the initial release, yet i would really like to get a bottle and give to a good cause…. i live in new jersey if that helps at all
This tribute is wonderful. More companies should jump on the bandwagon and help our Firefighters,Paramedics,and Police.
Thank you Jim Beam.
My friend Bob Franck is the director of the Fund. He is a Redondo Beach Fire Capt. in California he knew Terry and knows his brother. you can e-mail him at bfrbfd@aol.com. he can let you know how to obtain one. I got one for christmas from Bob and it is a wonderful memorial.
I think this is a very good idea. I was sent into the city on 911 with my rescue company from somerville nj, for three days. I still cant get it out of my head, the things that that we saw on 911. I was in the store today picking up some beam when I saw the red lable. there was only two bottles and I bought them . this is how I found out about this site. may god bless all who lost there life on 911.
Good Morning All

I am a fireman in Greenup,IL. Several members of our Fire Department and the departments in the surrounding communities would like to know where we can purchase the special edition bottles?
Just a big thank you to all the folks at Jim Beam and Fred Noe for putting this great product together with an even greater cause.
We’re just starting to get the product in Minnesota and folks are very excited to spread the word and continue recognizing the need to take care of our own.

Good information to me.
I was there !!!!!!!! Anything we can do to help are great county ” NEVER FORGET ” the 343 is a good idea.
Firefighters from Ohio would like to purchase the bottles to help out your worthy cause. Thanks.
Thanks from one firefighter to all the others.. I was ON-DUTY that day not in NYC but in Florida, I did grow up just 7 miles across the bay in NJ.
I understand how we put our lives on the line for others, That is our job. We were sworn in to “Save Lives & Protect Property” and that’s what we do.. I will do what needs to be done to help out in this cause. I purchased a bottle and will pass on to my others to purchase the same. Never forget what is said while on duty, You go, I go.. I am there for all of you..

Was wondering where the firefighters in the South East could find a bottle of this? There are a lot of guys interested in purchasing if you could give us a website or somewhere to purchase. As a firefighters wife I’m thankful for all that you do.
