For over a century, the Whippany Fire Company has been defined by the strength of its community. As we prepare for our 37th Annual Golf Outing on July 15, 2026, we are inviting you to participate in a new tradition that bridges our past and our future.

We are now offering Memorial and Celebration Sign Sponsorships for just $200. While these signs have long been a staple of our “Hole Sponsorships” on the golf course, we realized that many of our supporters wanted a more personal way to contribute.

This year, when you purchase a memorial sign, it doesn’t just stay on the green. To give our sponsors maximum recognition and outreach, these signs will travel with us to our major community milestones throughout the year, including:

  • The 37th Annual Golf Outing at Black Bear Golf Club.

  • Our Annual Car Show.

  • The WFD Open House.

  • The Pancake Breakfast with Santa this December.

“We’ve seen some of our members create beautiful ‘In Memory Of’ signs recently,” says past Chief Joe Cortright. “We wanted to open that opportunity up to everyone. It’s a way to keep the names of our friends and family present at the events they loved to attend, all while helping our volunteers keep the community safe.”

Whether you want to honor the memory of a loved one or celebrate a family milestone, these signs are a beautiful way to give back. If you would like to see a sign for your family at Black Bear Golf Club and beyond, you can register below or email us at golf@whippanyfire.com. All sponsorship names and payments are due by July 5th, 2026.

Join us in celebrating our community’s history while supporting the next 100 years of service.
