West County Firefighters Raise $10,000 in Charity Golf Tourney
Organizers of the event are calling it a success. More donations expected to come in with auctions.
The West County Firefighters Association raised at least $10,000 for local charities at its 6th annual golf tournament at Quail Creek Golf Club yesterday.
“Six years ago we decided our community outreach arm needed a jolt, and here we are,” said Jeff Sadtler, district deputy chief and tournament organizer.
Several businesses in the community participated in the tournament by providing donations and many companies were represented by golf teams.

“We’re glad to show our support for the firefighters," said Kathy Gilmore, of Delmar Gardens West, which played in the tournament. "They are always there for us.”
The tournament raises thousands of dollars annually, and all of the money goes back out into the community.

“We won’t have a final total until the silent auction and raffle are completed, but right now it looks like we’ve raised about $10,000,” Sadtler said.
