Annual Rigo Landeros Memorial Golf Tournament
By Gazette Staff Writers — Thursday, August 31st, 2023
After a long break, the Fillmore Volunteer Firefighters Foundation will be hosting it’s annual Rigo Landeros Memorial Golf Tournament on September 15 at Sterling Hills Golf Club in Camarillo. A shotgun start of 8:00 AM will take place. In 2014, Fire Chief Rigo Landeros and a group of other volunteers organized the first annual Fillmore Firefighters Foundation Golf Tournament to raise money for the Foundation, which provides important funding for equipment and training that might not otherwise be available to the firefighters of the Department. In 2016, the tournament was renamed to honor our former Chief, Reguberto “Rigo” Landeros, who passed away that year. Rigo was tireless in his support of the Foundation, the Volunteers of the Fillmore Fire Department and most importantly the citizens of Fillmore. The past tournaments have graciously been supported by the entire community of Fillmore. There are still a few slots available for golfers whether you want to sign up as a single or have a complete foursome. Besides breakfast and lunch, all golfers will receive awesome SWAG items. A “hole-in-one” contest, “closet to the pin”, putting and longest drive awards will be given out with free rounds of golf as prizes. The day will end with a large raffle and awards ceremony. The monies raised from the annual tournament will help to purchase equipment and training for the men and women of the Fillmore Fire Department as well to support Community Education Fire/Safety Training for youth and adults of Fillmore.
