Country Bank & the Worcester Red Sox Unite for the 2024 Police Vs. Fire Baseball Classic at Polar Park

Country Bank, a full-service financial institution serving Central and Western Massachusetts, and the Worcester Red Sox Foundation recently held the 3rd annual, “POLICE VS. FIRE BASEBALL CLASSIC,” presented by the WooSox Foundation and Country Bank on Monday, September 16, AT Polar Park. A $15,000 donation was made to the Worcester Fire Department Memorials Care Fund, a Worcester-based nonprofit that supports the perpetual care and maintenance of fallen firefighter memorials throughout the city and their families.

“At Country Bank, we are deeply honored to support our community’s police officers and firefighters through events like the Police vs. Fire Baseball Classic, said Mary McGovern, President and CEO at Country Bank. These brave men and women selflessly serve and protect, and it is a privilege to contribute to the care and maintenance of memorials that honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Our commitment to this cause reflects our ongoing dedication to strengthening the communities we serve and supporting the heroes who safeguard them.”

“As this annual tradition grows, we find that the poignant ceremony and competitive baseball game are emerging points of pride in our community,” said WooSox President Dr. Charles Steinberg. We give wholehearted thanks to Country Bank for continuing their outstanding community service. Our police and firefighters have found an extraordinary way to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and then to honor their memory with a fiercely competitive, marvelously entertaining performance of our national pastime. Our community is unique in the central role played by these frontline heroes.”
