FFFCF "Edmonds" Scholarship Application Information

The Fairfield Fire Fighter’s Charitable Foundation is proud to offer the Bob and Judy Edmonds Scholarship. This scholarship is named after Local 1426 Past President Bob Edmonds and his wife Judy. Prior to her passing in 2023 Judy named the FFFCF in her will as a benefactor. We pay that forward by renaming our scholarship award in Bob and Judy's honor.
