CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) - A local police department is teaming up with some former football stars for a great cause.
Chicopee police officers, patrolmen and detectives are hitting the Gridiron with former Patriots players this weekend.
They practiced Wednesday for Saturday's 4pm game at Szot Park. The annual event is a fundraiser for Lorraine's Soup Kitchen.
"Trying to help out as much as possible. This way hopefully we get to fill the pantry a little and give them a head start for the holiday," said Chicopee Police Detective Jim Gawron.
The football game is sponsored by the Local 401 Patrolmen's Union.
