The Peoria Chamber of Commerce is privileged to honor and celebrate the tremendous service and sacrifice of our Peoria First Responders by hosting our 4th Annual First Responders Charity Golf Tournament on Monday, February 6th at Blackstone Country Club.

This is an incredible opportunity to give thanks while golfing at one of the most prestigious, private courses in the Valley. As a resident of Peoria, I personally appreciate the many brave men and women in our community that keep us healthy and safe; this event is just one small way we can show our gratitude.

So much weight is carried on the shoulders of our first responders and their loved ones, a weight unimaginable to many of us. The work done is selfless and the impact is profound, as situations of trauma are managed with such passion and competency; we would be remiss not to recognize and applaud those efforts.

Opportunities to sponsor, donate, volunteer, and golf in the tournament are still available. Those in attendance can expect to have an unforgettable , all-inclusive experience while highlighting their business and networking with others in our Peoria and West Valley communities.

Your support of this event means we can provide additional resources to our Peoria Police and Fire/Medical teams in service to our community and demonstrate our appreciation of their service. For more information and to register, visit www.peoriachamber.com/ golftournamen t

Special thanks to Law Enforcement Specialists for serving as title sponsor for this year’s event!
