Today we held out 6th annual golf outing for our brother Jerry Sipe to benefit his family and unit while in Afghanistan. This event was very popular with numerous gold teams showing up from places even outside of the Fire/EMS community.

We began around 9 a.m. with a shotgun start for all of the teams involved and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. WCPO Channel 9 covered the event with interviews and scenes from the golf outing, and a thank you to them for their assistance!

It seemed everyone had fun, enjoyed themselves on such a beautiful day with great weather today for this golf outing.

The money raised will go to support Jerry’s family if they need anything while he is deployed serving his country, and secondarily, support our sending him and his unit care packages of essential items while he is deployed in Afghanistan.
