The Richard Sheltra Memorial Foundation, Inc. was founded to honor and remember Richard M. Sheltra. Richard, 20 years of age, died in the line of duty on April 30, 2016 as he fought a multi-alarm fire at a commercial retail store in Pineville, NC.

Richard, while alive, emphasized the importance of education and updated turnout gear. The foundation hopes to keep his memory alive and honor his wishes through providing gear and educational opportunities to First Responders.
