| NJ Firefighters set to face-off for charity alongside former Devils and Flyers greats at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall |
Station 4 Firefighter Bill Riess was chosen to play as a goalie in today's annual Red Line Classic Hockey Game at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall. The event was organized by the All Hands Working Charity along with the Healing Hearts Foundation.
FF Riess played goalie for Team White which was made up of New Jersey Firefighters and retired New Jersey Devils players. Their opponent, Team Orange, was made up of other New Jersey Firefighters and retired Philadelphia Flyers players. Unfortunately, FF Reiss' team lost a close game 8-7, but Bill alone raised nearly $1000 for the game's charities.
The All Hands Working Organization exists to reverse the statistic that shows firefighters have a 300% greater risk of suffering a heart attack by doing their job. All Hands Working strives to provide the training and resources to firefighters to prevent line of duty deaths and injuries.
The Barkann Family Healing Hearts Foundation provides financial aid to families who are in need, due to recent adversity or tragedy. Whether it be the sudden death or illness of a parent, the long term illness of a child, or the loss of a home or property due to fire, flood or disaster, they strive to help families bridge the gap until they can seek long term stability to lessen the financial burdens due to these, or other, life altering disasters.
