Playing to make a difference Firehouse Subs is known for its hot, delicious sandwiches. But we’re just as proud of our Men’s Doubles Tournament. The tournament is in its 35th year, and in that time has donated over $1 million to various charities. This year our goal is $200,000, and it’s all going back to our roots.
The beneficiary of this year’s tournament is Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, Inc., a 501 (c)(3), non-profit organization. The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation is dedicated to improving the life-saving capabilities of emergency services by providing funding, resources and support to public safety entities.
