Benevolent Golf Tournament returns to Moses Lake

MOSES LAKE – The Moses Lake Firefighters’ Benevolent Golf Tournament will be making its return on Aug. 27, following a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. Benevolent foundation chair Jason Koziol said that they are excited about the return of the tournament. This will be the tournament’s second year. “Initially, it started the year prior to COVID,” Koziol said. “That was our first annual golf tournament, and then COVID struck, and we had two years of absence. Right now, it’s firing back up for this year, and so we’re hoping nothing else happens – no more pandemic happens.” The benevolent foundation, part of Moses Lake Firefighters Union Local 1258, raises money to give back to the community: Operation Warm gives jackets to children during the colder months and Firefighters for Kids assists families during the holiday season. The fund also supports displaced residents due to fires, among other things. “Our benevolent foundation is a non-profit group that helps out between different charity causes here,” Koziol said.
