Fire Charity Fishing Foundation
Fire Charity Fishing Foundation (FCF Foundation Inc.) is a community-focused nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness and funds for youth and first responder charities through good old-fashioned involvement and connection. Since 2006, we have worked to support local children, families, aspiring emergency responders, and first responders in times of need. Our mission centers on creating opportunities that bring people together around sportfishing while making a lasting impact in people’s lives.
At the heart of our work is a belief that giving back builds stronger communities. We support charitable causes that help young burn survivors, expand opportunities for future firefighters and EMTs, and assist first responder families when unexpected hardships arise. Our signature event brings community members of all ages together for fun, friendly competition and meaningful support.
Our Impact
Here are some of the ways we’ve given back since 2006:
$158,000 to Children’s Burn Camp of Florida
$19,750 to Dream Oaks Camp
$40,000 for First Responder Needs
$19,000 toward Firefighter/EMT Scholarships
$22,000 for Other Local Community Needs
These dollars have helped pay for healing experiences for children, supported first responder families facing emergencies, and helped young people pursue careers in emergency services.
Annual Fishing Tournament & Festival
Each June, we host the Fire Charity Fishing Tournament & Festival, bringing anglers and community members together for a weekend centered on sportfishing and giving back. The event includes fishing competitions with cash prizes, along with food, music, and local vendors open to the public. It’s a chance for the community to gather, enjoy the weekend, and support the charitable work we do throughout the year.
