VIDEO/PHOTOS: Some local police and firefighters are honing their tackling skills for a good cause. They will face off at the annual George Maloof Police vs. Fire Charity Football Game. The event kicks off on Saturday, May 10, at Bishop Gorman High School. This long-standing tradition, which began in 1975, brings together Las Vegas police officers and firefighters, not just for some friendly competition, but to rally community support and raise funds.
Representing their teams, Dan Coyne with the Las Vegas Police Protective Association and Bill Gardner with the Professional Fire Fighters of Nevada explained that proceeds benefit the Law Enforcement Assistance Fund (LEAF) and the Professional Fire Fighters of Nevada (PFFN). These two organizations provide vital support for the families of fallen first responders across Nevada.
The game is free for the public and promises a fun-filled evening for all ages. Families can enjoy bounce houses, face painting, and complimentary food. For fans looking to elevate their experience, VIP tickets are available, complete with access to an open bar and premium food options. Team players from each side shared why they believe they’ll take home bragging rights this year. The passion and intensity from both sides make this matchup tough to call.
