Erik Abrahamson may work for the Standford Fire & Rescue Department in Connecticut, but he has an affinity for Los Angeles. He often visits the city to catch a show or participate in local marathons. (He’s pictured here holding his father’s FDNY helmet while on a visit to the Frank Hotchkins Memorial Training Center in L.A.)

Recently, when his schedule precluded him from seeing Ringo Starr at Southern California’s famous Greek Theatre, he donated his tickets to the Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firemen’s Fund, which sold them online to a lucky Angelino. All proceeds benefited the charity.

Thanks, Erik. Your contribution goes to help firefighters and their families in times of need.
