Honoring Fallen Line Heroes

Support the families of fallen and severely injured Electrical Line Workers

The line trade is the unsung hero of commerce, comfort and continuity we each enjoy each day. Even with improved safety measures, line workers are still in the top ten most fatally dangerous professions. Each year over 40 professional line workers are killed on the job every year. Many others suffer non-fatal loss of limbs from electrical burns and mechanical trauma. Please consider supporting the families of these lineman across the nation.
