The annual“Guns and Hoses Charity Game,”also known as the“Pig Bowl,”took the spotlight at Heart Health Park, delivering some lighthearted competition between local law enforcement and firefighters. This year marked the 52nd edition of the event, where community heroes traded their gear for jerseys to score points and raise funds for local charities.
Participants relayed how much they enjoy giving back while engaging with the community in a fun and different way. From touchdowns to tackle, the event aimed to showcase the lighter sides of those who typically serve and protect, all while reinforcing the bond between first responders and the communities they serve.
Who knew that a little friendly competition could be such a win-win? After all, it’s not every day that you see a firefighter and a cop on the same team—unless, of course, they’re teaming up to score big for charity. Let’s raise a glass of cold lemonade to these heroes who know how to put the“fun”in fundraising!
