Westfield Police Received Donation for Fallen Heroes

On Feb. 4, the Westfield Lions Club presented the Westfield Police Department with a generous check for $5000 for their locally sponsored “Hero’s Award” program.  The check was presented to Westfield Police Chief Joel Rush.

The Westfield Lions Club graciously established the award last year to financially assist families of fallen Westfield Police Officers and Firefighters whose lives are given in the line of Duty.  Westfield Lion’s Club President, Dan Wilcox, presented the check to Police Chief Joel Rush during the February dinner meeting.  Chief Rush thanked the members for the award and for the continued support given to the Westfield public safety Departments.  “I feel extremely privileged to be receiving this generous donation,” says Chief Rush.  “I wholeheartedly thank the Westfield Lions Club for their continued support and dedication to the City of Westfield”

The Westfield Lion’s Club has a long history of community involvement and a shared cooperative spirit with the Police and Fire Departments.  If additional information is needed, please advise.
