A mental health technician at Temple University Hospital, Todd Belok is also dedicated to offering emergency medical assistance. Todd Belok has been an EMT since 2008, and he uses his skills to give back to the community as a volunteer EMT for the Capitol Heights Volunteer Fire Department (CHVFD).
For over 100 years, the CHVFD has utilized volunteer firefighters to protect the citizens of Capitol Heights, Maryland. The department also does community service and fundraising for other worthy organizations. Over the Christmas 2015 season, the CHVFD held a fundraiser to support the Firefighter Cancer Support Network and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in their fights against cancer.
The fundraiser centered around the Tree of Courage, a Christmas tree memorializing loved ones who have lost the battle with cancer. The tree was named after the CHVFD’s fire engine Courage, which is painted pink to raise awareness of breast cancer. For each ornament placed on the tree, a $5 donation was made to the cancer-fighting groups, for a total of $500.
