This is a charity benefit for the Firefighter's Charity Alliance, a local non-profit organization that helps support the many community programs conducted throughout the year. This fundraiser helps raise money for the Florian Foundation Fund - a fund to help local firefighters facing cancer, PTSD, and other medical issues and our local school culinary programs.
