SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Saratoga Springs Firefighters hockey team hosted the Worcester Firefighters hockey team for the Conquering Kids’ Cancer benefit game at the Weibel Ice Rink on March 16. A total $6,183 was raised for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a childhood cancer research charity, throughout the day.
Money was raised via donations, raffles, and a “Jersey Off Our Backs” silent auction for the Saratoga Fire hockey team’s St. Patrick’s Day jerseys.
The game was a partnership between the Saratoga Springs Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 343, the Saratoga City Tavern, King’s Tavern, and the Worcester Fire Fighters Local 1009.
