Learn More About Community Events We Support and Sponsor
The District believes that strong community involvement is an integral part of the crew’s service. Through Black Jack Firefighters Community Outreach, the District’s non-profit organization, our team regularly sponsors collection drives to benefit students and teachers in the Hazelwood School District. Black Jack Fire Protection District also hosts numerous events during the year that are open to residents and the community.
Annual Community Outreach Golf Tournament
The Community Outreach Golf Tournament is an annual event sponsored by the Black Jack Firefighters Community Outreach. The tournament is held in late June at Whitmoor Country Club; players can register individually or as a team. Sponsorships also are available. All proceeds benefit the organization and support the community.
School Supply Drive
Black Jack Firefighters Community Outreach hosts a school supply drive benefiting teachers and students in the Hazelwood School District. Supplies are collected and distributed throughout the district; the team also sponsors a backpack drive for students. This year, the team, in partnership with the Florissant Fire District and Spanish Lake Fire District, donated 600 backpacks to students!
