Captain Tommy Searcy

WELCOME

Welcome to the Searcy Strong Foundation's website, a tribute to the late Houston Fire Captain, Tommy Searcy. Our nonprofit organization is not only a homage to Tommy's legacy but also a celebration of his passion for firefighting and fishing.

Tommy Searcy's life was marked by dedication, bravery, and a profound love for angling—a passion he shared with his twin brother, Tony. In their honor, we have committed ourselves to giving back to the next generation of firefighters, fulfilling the dream that Tommy and Tony held close to their hearts.

Our flagship event, the annual Captain Tommy's Smoke'n Reel's Fishing Tournament, stands as a vivid representation of Tommy's enthusiasm for fishing. More than just a competition, this event is a gathering of communities, a creation of shared memories, and a symbol of our collective commitment to camaraderie and mentorship.

By joining us, you become a part of the Searcy Strong family. Our journey is one of remembrance, community building, and guiding future firefighters through scholarships and meaningful connections. Our initiatives and events, including inspiring stories from those who walk the path of a devastating and life changing event, will be regularly updated on our page.

We invite you to be an active participant in this endeavor. As Tommy boldly said in the face of his greatest challenge, "Come on, let's do this!" Together, we can keep Tommy's indomitable spirit alive and continue to make a significant impact in the lives of others.

Thank you for your support and for being a vital part of our mission. With your help, we can turn Tommy and Tony's dream into a reality

"Come on, Let's do this!"

Our 
Story

Dedication and Service

The Searcy Strong Charitable Foundation is a non-profit organization with a profound mission rooted in the training, education, and mentorship of the next generation of firefighters. Founded by a dedicated firefighter who tragically lost his twin brother, Captain Tommy Searcy, to COVID-19, the foundation understands the impact of such losses on first responders and their families. This foundation serves as a beacon of hope and solidarity for individuals who share a passionate commitment to server other people. By forging vital connections within the firefighting and public service community, the Searcy Strong Charitable Foundation strives to place aspiring firefighters and other first responders in enriching hands-on experiences. This approach not only cultivates the skills and knowledge necessary for this heroic profession but also fosters a supportive network of like-minded individuals. The inspiration behind the foundation is deeply personal, as the founder not only lost his brother but also faced the heart-wrenching decision of safeguarding his mother from the virus after losing his father within a few months of his twin brother. This experience illuminated the emotional toll and isolation that often plagues those who tirelessly serve our communities.  In conclusion, the Searcy Strong Charitable Foundation stands committed to its noble cause—supporting first responders and their families when they need it most. By honoring the memory of Captain Tommy Searcy and training up the next generation of firefighters, this foundation embodies the true spirit of unity and resilience within our communities.
