WESTFIELD- On December 16, 2012 approximately $8,800 was raised by members of Middletown and surrounding communities as a donation to the victims' families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. The event was set up by the Westfield Fire Department which adapted their customary "Fill the Helment" style way of raising funds for this very serious cause.
According to www.westfieldfire.net:
"The principal architects of the event were Lt. Matt Holmes, Lt. Matt
Caffrey, FF Jake Peterson, FF James Figueroa, FF Kevin Mosca, EMT Lucas
Kennedy, EMT Ed Bonviso and Alysia Bonviso. Safety Officer Stephen
Hughes provided a significant amount of logistical support. The event
received the full support of Chief John Lockwood, Deputy Chief Joe
Augeri and Assistant Chief Bill Balch. Additionally, Commissioner Sid
Harmon was on hand to provide the full support of the Westfield Fire
District."
The site also adds that there are a couple of funds set up for the Sandy Hook families, but the WFD wants to call on the Sandy Hook fire chief before a decision is made on what charity to donate to.
