Miami-Dade Fire Fighter raises over $20,000 for Miami Children’s Hospital Craniofacial Center

MIAMI - Dec. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- Kevin Court, a Miami-Dade firefighter, and his wife Maida, have been organizing a children’s fishing tournament for the past 6 years raising funds for Miami Children’s Hospital Craniofacial Center. Last week the Court family presented a $20,473 check to the hospital, money raised at this year’s tournament, bringing the total they have raised for the Craniofacial Center to over $75,000.

“We can't write a check that big, but we can donate our time to raise that money for families less fortunate,” said Court. “We do everything with volunteers and through donations, with a huge help from Local 1403 Charities and the Dade County Firemen’s Benevolent Association.” The Court family plans to continue organizing the annual fishing tournament and helping Miami Children’s Hospital.

The fishing tournament is held at Sands Cut Sandbar, Biscayne Bay, Florida, every year. This year 110 children and 75 adults participated in the tournament.
