An impressive 94 golfers gathered on a warm day at the internationally recognized golf course where 46 businesses sponsored the tournament and local vendors supplied food and beverages. A dedicated 20 volunteers helped to make the magic happen.
The proceeds from the event will go towards an air cascade system for Station 8, which opened one year ago this month. The air system provides the ability to fill canisters with breathing air to be used by our firefighters for calls as well as training.

“Over $28,000 was raised from the event. Thank you to everyone who helped make the event a success!” said Foundation for 24/7 EMS Services at Lake Anna board member Jane Gallagher.
