1-800-BoardUp/Belfor’s (belforfranchisegroup.com) Topgolf Charity Challenge: Funds for First Responders event will support the Nebraska Serious Injury and Line of Duty Death Response Team (NESILODD). The event will take place on September 9, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Topgolf Omaha, 908 N 102nd St.
This all-volunteer team consists of 29 firefighters, emergency medical services providers and law enforcement officers, representing 24 first responder agencies from across the state. The team is tasked with supporting fire departments and families after a loved one has died due to a line-of-duty death.
With the family’s permission and in cooperation with the fallen member’s first responder agency, the team assists with any and all aspects of the hero’s funeral. The team will also assist the fallen first responder’s family with the application for federal and state line-of-duty death benefits.
The NESILODD team is funded primarily through donations. Team member dues also account for a small amount of operating funds. The NESILODD team is a Local Assistance State Team (LAST) associated with the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
In addition to the event’s prizes for first, second and third place, there will be a chance to win $10,000 in the hole-in-one contest!
