Proceeds benefit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, an organization created by the United States Congress to lead a nationwide effort to remember America’s fallen firefighters.
Since 1992, the tax-exempt, nonprofit foundation has developed and expanded programs to honor the nation’s fallen fire heroes and assist their families and co-workers of fallen firefighters, a release from the Kaua‘i Fire Department states.
The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation Memorial Golf Tournament has grown to include 50 regional golf tournaments held across the country on behalf of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
Tournaments help the foundation continue its support for families and co-workers.
When a firefighter dies in the line of duty, the foundation provides survivors with a place to turn, receiving emotional assistance through a Fire Service Survivors Network which matches survivors with similar experiences and circumstances.
Additionally, families receive a quarterly newsletter and specialized grief publications.
