The Westfield Fire Department raised $1,200 at its recent pancake breakfast at Station 83. The money raised will be donated to the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.
“This was a really great way for us to invite the community in to our station and also do something good in the process,” Fire Marshal Garry Harling said. “We even had so many people stop by that we ran out of food.”
City of Westfield departments have participated in Relay for Life events for the past 11 years. Participation has ranged from donating time, hosting pancake breakfasts, coordinating bake sales and many other activities.
“We are very committed to this cause. This breakfast was just one way to give back to the community we serve,” Harling said.
