*Media Advisory* Maynard Fire and Police to Host Charity Softball Game
MAYNARD — Fire Chief Anthony Stowers and Police Chief Mark Dubois would like to invite the community to attend the departments’ first charity softball game between firefighters and police officers this month.
The friendly competition will put some of the fire and police departments’ new hires up against each other to see who can run the most bases. Winners will get bragging rights and a coveted trophy.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to build comradery, not just within our department, but between departments,” Chief Stowers said. “Plus, the proceeds are going to support a very worthy organization.”
“We are always up for a little rivalry between friends,” added Chief Dubois. “We hope the community will come out to support both departments as we play ball!”
