Helping Firefighters

[DDNichols7]

I am asking for advice and help. for those who dont know I work with the fire dept here in Chattanooga I am also with the Local 820 firefighters union. Recently some brother firefighters have had some medical issue's either with themselves or their children pop up. I dont wanna give out names etc. but 2 out of the 3 are cancerous. These guys will be needing help down the road and now for medical expenses. So.....we at the union have come to help. We are having a pancake breakfest and going to be doing a fishing tournament. I have been in contact with Pointer and he says he can get scales and would help with weigh-in etc. I have a few guys that said they would help also. We are trying to work on a date right now but so far here is what we have for the fishing tournament.......Have it on a weekend, have 2 tournaments that day, like a safe light to 2, and then a 8pm to 1 am.......at least a $50 boat fee........Payout we were thinking something like a 60/40 that isnt set in stone yet.....and neither is the date. The Local Union would buy hotdogs hamburgers etc for the day tournament, and once you get done with weigh in have a lunch plate and a drink for purchase......We are working with sportmans warehouse for possible donations or door prizes gift cards etc. I have a few other places I am gonna ask as well.........So what do you guys think? Would you be up for it? Firefighters help out people they dont know all the time, and now we are needing some help......So please consider it, and let others know as well. If you know of someone that has a buisness and would wanna help please pass along the info. Call me if you guys have any questions or ideas.......

I will post the dates for the pancake breakfest soon and the info.

Make sure to have it on an open weekend where no other tournaments are going on and they will come. ON a fund raiser like this, one of the local trophy shops might pitch in with a trophy or two. I have Flip's scales we use for the CFF Bass Tournaments and I will be glad to help in that area. emoAngel Jmax

I will be glad to help you put on the tournament. I would also be glad to donate something toward the tournament. Depending on when it is, and how my inventory/money is at the time will depend on what or how much I can donate. but i will commit to helping out.
