Firefighters help fund children's charity with tournament

Put a dollar into the boot.
Wherever there is a need to raise money for a good cause, the Firefighters Benevolent Fund boot is there!

The rain.
Much needed at the tail-end of a long hot summer, but not so much when you are running a golf tournament to raise money for a children’s charity.
But with the support of firefighters and the communities of Woodinville and Bothell, the inaugural 2015 Firefighter Charity Golf Tourney exceeded its fund-raising targets for the Children’s Country Home.
And it served up a good time too, despite the gray skies.
Here is a montage of what some of the participants had to say, as well as a few photos of the day:

We learned of the Children’s Country Home in 2005 after the car Ed’s 8-year-old daughter was riding in was hit by a drunk driver in downtown Woodinville and she suffered a traumatic brain injury. We will be forever grateful for all of the love and support they provided us during that very difficult time. Thank you again for such a fun day!  We’ll look forward to next year’s tournament.

– Ed and Cathy Anderson,
tournament participants

Thank you so much for including me in the tourney. The weather was not ideal, but the company, the golf and the organizations that benefitted from it were spectacular.

– Brad Davis, tournament participant

After enjoying a day of golf and an evening repast of ribs with all the accompaniments, the golfers took part in a mini, yet robust live auction that truly makes a difference for the children in our home. Thank you for your amazing generosity!

– Diane Kolb, Executive Director,
Children’s Country Home

I had a great time at the inaugural golf tournament! I thought the shamble format was really good and different. It kept the pace of play quick. I also liked not having to keep track of how many tee shots were used, keeping track of string or mulligans. I’m already looking forward to next year!

– Bothell Firefighter Jim Ito

“Woodinville Fire & Rescue have been longtime supporters of Children’s Country Home and value the amazing dedication they have to each of their patients.”

– Interim Fire Chief Gregory Ahearn,
Woodinville Fire & Rescue

And off they go, doing a good deed and having fun at the same time.

Thanks to the sponsors of the 2015 Firefighters Charity Golf Tournament!
A huge thanks to all our sponsors, with a special shoutout to Fairwinds Redmond, Fairwinds Brittany Park, Woodinville Bike, The Collective on Tap, and Tripplehorn Breweries.
