Posted on By Clifton FMBA 21

The First Annual Clifton Firefighter’s Foundation Golf Outing was a massive success! It was a day filled with fun, laughter, and camaraderie as members of our department, retirees, and neighboring fire/police departments came together.

This premier event not only delivered a day of spirited competition, fun, and mingling but also supported a noble cause. All proceeds will benefit the Foundation’s mission as a 501c3 Non-Profit, which passionately supports various charitable organizations throughout the City of Clifton.

Attendees enjoyed perfect weather, challenging holes, and the chance to catch up with old friends while meeting new ones. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our generous sponsors who made this day possible. Be sure to scroll through the event photos and relive the memorable moments from this incredible day!

Special thank you to all of our sponsors and volunteers!
