I wanted to take a moment to give a big shout out to all of our sponsors of the MOKAN SFPE Golf Fundraising Event!  We could not have done it without you!  Our sponsors did such an amazing job stepping up that we were able to waive the mandatory donation fee, allowing more people in our fire protection community to attend, who may not have had the opportunity otherwise.  Thank you all!
