Police And Fire Giving It All On The Ice

Second annual fundraising game to help the Burke family daughters.

The second annual vs Fundraising Hockey Game will be held this Sunday, Feb. 13 at 1 p.m. at the "Skip" Viglirolo Skating Rink, 297 Concord Ave. in Belmont.

This year, the event will be raising money for the Burke family of Belmont, which has three daughters with a rare and terminal disease, Sanfilippo Syndrome Type C. The illness affects less than 100 children in the world.

All money raised will go to funding research in hopes of finding a cure for the rare illness. For more information or to make a donation to this cause, please go to the webpage www.JLKSanfilippofoundation.com
