Jules Firetag
The Firetag Invitational was created in memory of Jules Firetag, the first board president of Teen Lifeline and an avid golfer. A respected attorney, a giving volunteer, the past president of the Jewish Community Center, an action-oriented leader, and a good friend, Jules was an all-around champion for our community.
Highlights from 2021’s Event
With minimal winds and not a cloud in the sky, the day was truly perfect for golfing at the 16th Annual Firetag Golf Tournament. Assigned tee times were introduced in 2020 to allow for social distancing, but players loved it so much its now a permanent part of our tournament structure. Players built connections of hope on the green of the Silverado Golf Club both with their donations and in the time they spent on the field with family, friends, and coworkers. In total, the tournament raised $65,000. Read about the event on LinkedIn.
