The annual golf outing for the Lt. Thomas F. Healy Foundation will be held Aug. 18 at the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort in Pennsylvania.
The foundation provides support for members of the Fire Department who have family members battling cancer.
It was named after Thomas Healy, an FDNY lieutenant who served in the department for 32 years. He retired from Ladder 120 in 1997 after a line of duty injury. He died in 2003 after complications from cancer surgery.
His family and loved ones created the foundation in his memory to celebrate his "warm personality and generous spirit."
The foundation also is planning to establish two scholarships in Healy's name.
Packages are available for golfers and nongolfers. Other activities include hiking, canoeing, biking and horseback riding. The resort is near Smithfield Park on the Delaware Water Gap.
People who can't attend the event but want to show their support can take out ads in the journal or serve as sponsors for some of the activities.
For information, go to the foundation's Web site at www.ltthomasfhealyfoundation.org or call (631) 747-3016. The address is: Lt. Thomas F. Healy Foundation, P.O. Box 445, Baldwin, N.Y. 11510.
