Any team signing up for the first responder division will need to have at least one team member that is a first responder. Teams are allowed to either bring their owns bags or use the tournament provided ones.
In addition to the tournament itself, there will be a raffle and silent auction. All proceeds will benefit local children’s charity Heidi’s Place.
