On May 4, 2024 Haverhill will host another Battle of the Badges blood drive. Please consider donating blood and in the process, help save a life… and only slightly less important, help Haverhill Fire beat the Police in number of total donations.
Today is the day! This Labor Day weekend, like every Labor Day weekend for decades, firefighters across the nation take the opportunity to raise money for a very meaningful cause, the Muscular Dystrophy Association!
Come by the Water Street Fire Station (Friday through Monday) and help us fill the boot or see us outside of one of the city’s Market Baskets (Friday & Saturday 9am-3pm) and help us fill the boot there. If neither of those work, good news, we have a QR Code and a website you can go to and directly help us fill our digital boot and raise money for this great cause!
On Friday, November 19th, your Haverhill Firefighters presented the Muscular Dystrophy Association with $14,000 we were able to raise with your help this year! Continuing with a long-standing tradition of raising awareness and money for causes that particularly help children, we were able to raise the $14K during the annual “Fill the Boot” drive, “Spray a Firefighter”, and Annual Cornhole Tournament this year!
Firefighter Douglas Burrill coordinated the Haverhill Firefighter’s Annual Cornhole Tournament for the second time in a row, which raised $5,100 for the charity this year. Doug Burrill and the Charities team worked with the Crescent Yacht Club to facilitate the event, that took place on October 2nd. The function has been hosted at this location for the last two tournaments, both with great success.
For more than 67 years, Fill the Boot has been a strong firefighter tradition – giving families with muscular dystrophy in hometowns across America hope for the future and support for today. Haverhill firefighters, along with firefighters from across the nation take to the streets to “Fill the Boot” for the MDA and with the help of creative members from Group 6 Water Street, started a brand new and creative tradition of “Spray a Firefighter” which, with help from the community, raise almost $9,000 throughout the Labor Day weekend.
Members of the public were able to donate $20 in order to spray a Haverhill Firefighter in good fun. Firefighter Robert “Soggy Bob” Miles took the brunt of the hosing with help from his fellow Firefighters in Group 6.
We’d like to sincerely thank our community for their continued support as we work to raise money and awareness to help fight these terrible ailments.
