Captain Benny’s Recovery Rally | Tampa News

Tampa Fire Rescue Captain Benny Bengter battled life-threatening pancreatitis while on vacation in Hawaii, requiring emergency surgery and weeks of intensive care. Now, as he recovers, a heartfelt community rally called “Beers for Benny” raised over $20,000 in donated prizes and support — including a golf cart and jewelry — to ease his family’s financial burden. With 17 years of service rooted in his family’s legacy, Benny’s resilience is being celebrated by first responders, neighbors, and fans alike, all rallying behind him as he prepares to return to the job he loves. Donations can still be made through the Firemen’s Benevolent Association’s official fundraiser. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
