VIDEO: Police and firefighters were facing off on Monday, but this time with no sirens or hoses. Warren police officers and firefighters settled their rivalry on the diamond at Eastwood Field for the second annual charity softball game, sponsored by Disaster Recovery Services of Warren.
Organizers say the family-friendly matchup is all about fun and giving back. Half of the proceeds benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and the rest go to a charity of the winnerโs choice. โThe best part about it is our union โ any money we have goes back to the City of Warren. Weโve donated to the Lincoln Schoolโs soup kitchen, the St. Joseph Cancer Center, and weโve bought helmets in the past for Little Raiders โ anything back in Warren,โ said Corky Manofsky with the Warren Fire Department. In the end, the bragging rights went to police, as they beat fire, 11 to 8.
