FD Thanks Community for Honoring Fallen Brother

The following letter was submitted to Patch by Mahwah Fire Co. 2.

To the Editor, 

We are writing this letter on behalf of the Roe Family and the Firefighters of Mahwah Fire Co. # 2 to acknowledge all of the support we received for our recent fundraiser. The 2nd Annual Lt. Patrick Roe Scholarship Benefit Poker Run was held on Sept. 29. What an amazing day it was.

Over 160 bikers and passengers enjoyed the beautiful fall weather and scenic ride. The increased number of participants helped us realize the magnitude of support we receive for such a worthy cause. We are proud to say that because of everyone’s effort over $15,000 in scholarships have been awarded to date. 

Our fellow first responders, neighboring fire departments and various motorcycle clubs played a key role in the success of the day.  

The day would not have been possible without the support and contributions of local businesses. Our sincere gratitude and appreciation goes out to: Mahwah Bar & Grill, The Mason Jar, Shirt Man, The Sign Shop, F&M Expressions, F&M Motor Works, Elkwood Const. Superior Glass & Metal, Master Fire & Electric, MaryAnn’s Gourmet Market, American Trademark, Ramapo Tree & Shrub, Bagel Express, Baron Pools, Saddle River Liquors, Cycle City of NY, Troufer Const.Co., Mahwah Wine & Liquors, VanNatta Mechanical Corp. Mahwah Honda, Cadillac of Mahwah, TMD Maintenance LLC, The Furry Godmother PetSitting, Mahwah Education Assoc., Suburban Caps, Ramsey Auto Group, Locomotion Powersports, The Fountain Spa, Liberty Hyundai, The Russell Clemons Band, Shani Hawkins Xquisite Design, Ruth Hawkins Best Little Frame Shop. 

We are grateful for the generosity of the Malone Family, Mahwah Fire Co. # 3, Mahwah Fire Co. # 4 and the Mahwah Board of Firematic Officers for sponsoring our Trophies and Awards. 

Our committee is already working on next year’s event which is being planned for September 28, 2014. Mark your calendars, we look forward to seeing everyone next fall.

 

Sincerely,

MFD 2 Poker Run Committee
