Steven Rucker Memorial Golf Tournament

⛳ 21st Annual Steven Rucker Memorial Golf Tournament

Come join us for a special day of golf, community, and remembrance as we celebrate the life of Steven Rucker — a beloved Novato firefighter, husband, and father who gave his life protecting others during the 2003 Cedar Fire in San Diego County.

Steve was known not only for his bravery, but for his heart — the kind of person who showed up for his neighbors, mentored younger firefighters, and brought his trademark warmth and humor wherever he went. This tournament was created to honor his spirit, and over the years it has become a meaningful tradition that brings people together for a great cause.

Golfing for a Greater Good

All proceeds benefit the Novato Fire Foundation, supporting a wide range of programs that serve both firefighters and the broader community, including:

• Emergency financial aid for firefighters and their families

• Community AED programs

• Scholarships for deserving students of any age

• Fire Squirts summer camp for at risk youth

• Holiday toy and bike drives for local families in need

Whether you’re a serious golfer or just coming out for a good time, your participation helps carry forward Steve’s legacy of service, kindness, and community commitment.

Come Be Part of It

Join us on the course as we remember a true hometown hero, reconnect with friends, and raise funds for a foundation that does real, lasting good.

One great day. One incredible cause. All in Steve’s name.
