The Windsor Firefighters originally established the Firefighters’ Benefit Fund in 1921. In the early years, its purpose was to help firefighters who had fallen on hard times due to illness, injury or financial difficulties. Fellow firefighters would organize a fundraiser and donate what they could to assist their brothers/sisters in times of need. Now fast-forward to the present and you will find the Benefit Fund helping others as well as their own members. Their focus has expanded over time to include helping those within the local community; the community we work and live in. This is accomplished through fundraising, bingo sessions and generous donations from the public and corporate sector.
It the hope of the Tournament Committee to produce and host an event that will attract return golfers and sponsors for years to come.
