Over 500 golfers and volunteers came to Deerfield Golf and Country Club on Clarkson-Parma Townline Road on May 15 and 16 for the 15th annual Rochester Area National Fallen Firefighters Foundation Golf Tournament. Each attendee passed by newly installed signage on County Road 254. This is the first-ever dedication of a County Road in Monroe County and tournament organizers were very pleased to see it come to fruition.
The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) is based in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The foundation’s mission is “to honor and remember America’s fallen fire heroes.” The Rochester Area Committee is doing its part to ensure that message is visible for all that come to the annual tournament and all that travel down Clarkson-Parma Town Line Road each and every day.
The Rochester Area NFFF team worked diligently for several months with County officials to receive approval and have the signs up in time for the tournament. County Executive Adam Bello acknowledged Retired Fire Chiefs Randy Jensen and Laurence Vaughan for their efforts in making it happen as he dedicated the section of roadway surrounding the country club. They worked closely with Monroe County Legislators Jackie Smith and Blake Keller in whose districts the signs are posted.
