Almost two hundred attendees will be helping Piper Fire Protection raise more than $10,000 for the Children’s Burn Foundation of Florida at its 6th Annual Footgolf Tournament held on April 17th, 2020 at Largo Municipal Golf Course.
Our supportive sponsors include Ferguson Fire & Fabrication, Brown & Brown Insurance, Core & Main, RS Williams & Associates, Tyco/Johnson Controls & other commitments from Viking Group, Republic Bank, ITT Pumps, Patterson Pumps, Victaulic, Dinsmore & Shohl Tampa, and Compufire.
Piper Fire President Chris Johnson looks forward to this event every year. He noted, “Our ‘Piper Gives Back Committee’ was formed to allow our team to focus efforts to live out our mission statement in our community. Not only do we want to make our communities safer, we also want to make our communities better, and that is what ‘Piper Gives Back’ is all about.”
“This dedicated team of employees is focused on ways to benefit local non-profits, whether financially or by physical labor. Organizing the Footgolf Tournament to support the children attending the Children’s Burn Foundation of Florida’s Camp Tequesta isn’t just to benefit the organization and the children but also to bring awareness to Piper Fire’s overall goal as a company – that the fire protection industry’s main objective is to save lives.
“It is so inspiring to have campers who have survived and thrived to adulthood, come back and serve as administrators and counselors for this camp. We are proud to be able to come along beside these amazing young men and women to provide a chance for the next generation of campers to have an amazing time with people just like them.”
The event will start promptly at 6:00pm and is open to everyone! The fee for adult players is $30, kids fee is $20, and spectators get in for $15 with a dinner included. All proceeds of the event are donated directly to the Children’s Burn Foundation. Please bring your own soccer ball! There will be raffle prizes, a “best-team theme” contest, and special grand prizes! We look forward to seeing you there!
