Mission Statement
A 501(c)3 charity, the Billy Moon Foundation honors fallen FDNY firefighter Billy Moon. The heart of our mission is providing support, advocacy, and awareness for organ donation across the country, while offering financial assistance to donor and recipient families. By sharing our story and engaging the community, we ensure that donated funds help families with essential needs—such as food, travel, and lodging—throughout their organ donation and transplant journey.

Our Story
After suffering a fatal fall in the firehouse on December 12, 2022, Billy answered his last alarm on December 20, 2022 with the gift of organ donation, a topic he felt strongly about. He saved the lives of five others. The Billy Moon Foundation was created to honor this final act of selflessness. By commemorating his legacy, advocate and build awareness around organ donation, supporting those in the process, and paying it forward to our communities.
William “Billy” Moon II, 47 was a friend and mentor to everyone. He was a lifelong dreamer who aspired to be in the FDNY, and did not stop until he did. Known for his big personality, huge smile, and love for the job, Billy was also a devoted husband and father of two.
Raised in Islip, New York, Billy was a 21-year member of the FDNY, as well as a 28-year volunteer in the Islip Fire Department, serving as Chief of Department from 2016-2018. He began his career in L133 in South Jamaica Queens where he spent almost 20 years before transferring to Rescue 2 in Brooklyn. The significance of going to Rescue 2 was a big milestone and something he was proud to do. He always said he never worked a day in his life because he was a part of the greatest job in the world.
“Loving Billy was not only a marriage of families but a marriage to the fire department. His love and passion for the job extended far from the firehouse walls. He instilled that same passion in our children and always talked about how important it was to help others. We are eternally grateful for the Christmas miracles that Billy will now be able to give to others, including two brother firefighters.”
— December 2022 statement from Kristina Moon, wife of Billy.
