Anonymous Donor Gives New Bike, School Supplies to 5-Year-Old Holbrook Boy Found Last Week

HOLBROOK — Chief William Smith is pleased to announce that thanks to a generous donation from an anonymous donor, a Holbrook boy has a brand-new bicycle, backpack and school supplies.

Last week, on Aug. 8, Holbrook Police were notified about a 5-year-old boy, later identified as Miguel Carvalho, who was found riding his bicycle in the area of Plymouth Street by himself. Carvalho’s bicycle had two flat tires and was missing a training wheel.

While searching for a parent or guardian of Carvalho, Holbrook Police posted the boy’s photo on Facebook.

Through the subsequent investigation, a short time later police were able to identify a family member of Carvalho’s and returned him safely to his family.

As a result of the department’s Facebook post, on Tuesday, Aug. 12, an anonymous donor donated a brand-new bicycle and other items meant for Carvalho.

On Tuesday night, Holbrook Police Officer James Landers went to Carvalho’s house to drop off the new bike and school supplies to him.

“First and foremost we are glad that Miguel was found safe and that we were able to quickly reunite him with his family last week,” Chief Smith said. “I would like to personally thank the person who made this generous donation. Seeing the smile on his face was priceless and it was truly a kind gesture.”

Marion Fire Department Receives Drinking Water Donation from Anheuser-Busch

288 Cases of Water Delivered to Station This Week

MARION – Chief Brian Jackvony is pleased to announce that the Marion Fire Department received a generous donation of thousands of cans of drinking water from Anheuser-Busch this week to be used to hydrate firefighters during incident response and training.

Anheuser-Busch announced in April that the company has expanded its emergency drinking water program in partnership with the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) to deliver critical hydration to firefighters across the country.

On Tuesday, the Marion Fire Department received a delivery of 288 cases of canned water from the company. Overall, the department received 6,912 cans of water.

“Fighting fires, and even training is an extremely strenuous activity any time of the year,” Chief Jackvony said. “Hydration is even more critical with the summer heat and humidity upon us. We are extremely thankful to Anheuser-Busch and their partnership with the National Volunteer Fire Council for making this donation possible. This is something that will have a direct and immediate positive impact on our department.”

Marion FD and the Carver Fire Department were the only Massachusetts fire departments to receive a donation during this current campaign.

The new partnership between Anheuser-Busch and the NVFC kicked off in April with a program that will see one million cans of drinking water donated in support of volunteer fire departments throughout the year in 2019.

“As the country faces more natural disasters, like wildfires, it’s important to have more programs in place to help our emergency responders,” Adam Warrington, Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility at Anheuser-Busch, said in a statement. “With the evolution of our emergency drinking water program, we’re able to offer tangible support and necessary resources to those who are protecting our communities when they need it most.”

Anheuser-Busch has a longstanding tradition of providing emergency drinking water and supplies for disaster relief efforts in partnership with the American Red Cross. Since 1988, Anheuser-Busch and their wholesaler partners have provided more than 80 million cans of water to U.S. communities affected by natural disasters nationwide.

METHUEN — Chief Joseph Solomon and Mayor James Jajuga are pleased to announce that Cops for Kids with Cancer presented a local 9-month-old boy and his family with a $5,000 donation at Methuen Police headquarters on Friday, July 12.

Michael Burns Jr. and his family, including his parents Michael and Melissa Burns and his older sister, Brooke, received a $5,000 donation from Cops for Kids With Cancer Friday morning to help cover the costs associated with his cancer treatment.

Michael was diagnosed with Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia as a newborn last October. Since then, he has been undergoing intensive treatment — including frequent hospitalization — while his parents make an effort to maintain work schedules, often from Michael’s hospital rooms.

The Methuen Police Department sponsored the Burns family’s application to Cops for Kids with Cancer earlier this year.

“No family, and certainly no young child should have to endure what the Burns family has throughout Michael’s young life,” Chief Solomon said. “We were eager to support their efforts through Cops For Kids With Cancer, and we’re so grateful for their generosity in supporting this family.”

Organization Treasurer Ed McNelley was on hand Friday to present the check, which will go toward alleviating Michael’s medical expenses.

“Cops for Kids With Cancer is a great organization with a tremendously meaningful mission,” Mayor Jajuga said. “I’m glad that Chief Solomon and his officers could pitch in to help make Friday’s donation possible, and I know we all join together in rooting for Michael to beat this and live a full and happy life.”

Randolph Police Department Receives Donation of 130 Bicycle Helmets

RANDOLPH — Chief William Pace is pleased to announce that the Randolph Police Department has received a donation of 130 bicycle helmets from the law firm Breakstone, White & Gluck for the fourth straight year.

The Boston-based personal injury law firm donated the helmets as part of their Project KidSafe campaign to encourage safe cycling and prevent head injuries.

Randolph Police will distribute the helmets to kids as part of its bicycle safety program.

“We want to once again give our sincere thanks for the generosity of the people at Breakstone, White & Gluck,” Chief Pace said. “Bicycle safety starts with wearing a helmet and because of their donation we are able to provide dozens of kids with helmets in Randolph.”

The Project KidSafe campaign was started by the law firm in 2013 as a way to reduce injuries and encourage children to wear helmets as soon as they start riding. Over five years, the lawyers have now donated more than 20,000 bicycle helmets to children in Massachusetts.

“At Breakstone, White & Gluck, we believe every child should be able to safely ride their bicycle while wearing a helmet,” Attorney David W. White said. “Each year we donate hundreds of brand-new helmets to police departments throughout the region that they then give out to children in their community. It was our pleasure to once again donate over 100 helmets to the Randolph Police Department.”

Massachusetts law requires children who are 16 years old and younger to wear bicycle helmets when they ride.

The Randolph Police Department encourages all cyclists to wear helmets no matter their age.
