The Billings Fire Department and the Billings Police Department are preparing for an upcoming charity hockey game scheduled for this Friday evening at 6:30 p.m. The event, to be held at Centennial Ice Arena, is set to raise funds for Family Promise of Yellowstone Valley, a local non-profit organisation dedicated to aiding homeless families.
Matt Frank, representing the Billings Police, has expressed his enthusiasm for the event, emphasizing the opportunity to interact with the community in a positive and lighthearted setting. He noted that there will be a donation box and a firefighter’s boot at the Family Promise table near the concession stand, urging attendees to demonstrate their support by making contributions.
Similarly, Eric Barbeau, who will be representing the Billings Fire Department, underscored the inherent desire of first responders to provide assistance to those in need. He stressed that the event reflects the responders’ dedication to giving back to the community and making a positive impact.
In addition to the hockey game, the event will include complimentary ice skating for attendees following the match. Moreover, food and beverages will be available for purchase, with Dax’s Wingz and Things offering wings and fries, and Tiny’s donating the proceeds from their sales back to Family Promise.
