Members of Tequesta Fire-Rescue, in conjunction with Friends of Public Safety, are
requesting permission to proceed with the 9th Annual Chili Cook-off and beer-tasting
event to raise funds for Southeast Florida Honor Flight, Inc., Operation 300, and Renewal
Coalition. Honor Flight is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America's
VWVII and terminally ill veterans for all their sacrifices. Operation 300 and Renewal
Coalition honors �varriors that have been wounded in the line of duty and sends r,hildren
of those killed in action to camp. Twenty-Five percent (25%) of the funds raised will be
donated to each charity. The remaining Twenty-Five percent (25%) of the funds raised
will be retained by the Tequesta Friends of Public Safety, Inc to be utilized in its mission
to provide support to the Tequesta public safety personnel in time of need and to continue
maintenance of the 9/11 Memorial Fountain.
The event is being planned for November 9, 2019 from 2pm to 6pm at Paradise Park. We
will be bringing in a stage for live entertainment, 8-to 10 port-a-potties, tables and chairs
for approximately 300 people, 33-10x10 folding tents for Chili teams and corporate
sponsors and plan on hiring as many Police Offices as the Police Chief feels is
appropriate for the event.
On the day of the event we request the ability of the on duty crew to assist with the setup
and breakdown of the event. We would like to utilize the Aerial truck by extending the
boom and draping an American Flag from it to honor all our fallen heroes. All Firefighters
working the event will be off duty_ On duty personnel may be needed to assist in some
of the planning, along with answering questions of the citizens of Tequesta on event
details. None of the above requests will interFere with the operation of the departments.
