Battle of the Badges Events Raise Funds for Charity Across Multiple Locations

Various 'Battle of the Badges' charity hockey games are taking place across the U.S., with proceeds benefiting local communities and causes. In St. Clair County, the event on March 14 will feature the Port Huron Police and Fire Departments, with proceeds supporting The Arc of St. Clair County. Meanwhile, a recent game between Warren and Chesterfield police raised over $22,000 for Officer Nick Kott's recovery, attracting around 500 supporters and showcasing community unity. In Batavia, the annual competition raised funds for the David McCarthy Memorial Foundation, which supports youth athletics, while Reading's event, now in its 19th year, benefits the Battle of the Badges Scholarship Fund for children of first responders. These games not only foster camaraderie among law enforcement but also strengthen ties with the community, all while supporting important local causes.
